    "Opposites attract."

    A career bank robber breaks out of jail and shares a moment of mutual attraction with a US Marshall he has kidnapped.

    REVIEW

    No one has captured the brilliance of author...( read more) Elmore Leonard onscreen as Steven Soderbergh did with Out of Sight. Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Frank understand Leonard's dark-comedic tone perfectly and use it to concoct a film that is in turn hilarious, thrilling and romantic--and not at all sappy-romantic, but cool-sexy-hot romantic. The cast is phenomenal. Soderbergh elicits a truly great performance out of Clooney and Jennifer Lopez really never has been better. The supporting cast really shines, with Ving Rhames, Catherine Keener, Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks (who is nearly unrecognisable for most of the film) and Luis Guzman all doing stellar work. Overall, a great comedic action-drama for adults. Tops in this genre. If possible, get it on DVD, where it looks fabulous.

    I'm not sure what to make of this movie. It was playing on TV after midnight and I fell asleep during the middle of it. I'm not sure whether to blame it on the movie or on my tiredness. I did see the last 45 minutes and was unclear exactly what the ending of the movie alluded ...( read more)to. I will have to try to watch it again without and see if I can stay awake this time.

    A lot could be said about the greatness of this film, but where to start? With Steven Soderbergh's flawless directing, the editing and the wonderfully complex storytelling on two time levels, that surely requires some concentration to follow? With his interesting choice of colors...( read more), differing between the warm tones of the hot Florida sun and then the switch into cold, blue and white Detroit, where red only reappears in the shape of blood? With the smart, witty, sometimes funny, sometimes brutally violent script that includes dialoges you wanna learn by heart? With an awesomely grooving and cool Soundtrack by David Holmes? Or with a cast to dream of down into the smallest roles, most of the actors giving the performance of their lifetime: J.Lo is hardly recognizable as the irrelevant pop singer of recent years, doing a great job as a female cop tempted by the attracting opposites of bank robber George Clooney, who was never better than here. Their chemistry is a big part of what makes this movie work, especially the hotel bar scene and its continuation contains more sparks than some movie years combined. Don Cheadle as a dangerous gangster, Steve Zahn as petty crook, Ving Rhames as calm and reasonable sidekick, Dennis Farina as amused and amusing father or Samuel L. Jackson's wonderful cameo in the last minute of the film: perfect choices all around. The showstopper being Michael Keaton who simply walks into this film as the same character he was in Tarantino's Jackie Brown (also after a Elmore Leonard book) as if that was the most natural thing ever. No, I can't decide what to bring up first, but it all combines into a crime thriller romance that is pretty much perfection and one of my favorite films.

    I absolutely love this film. It's purely and utterly enjoyable. A cool, stylish, and frequently enertaining film. Smart, wickedly funny and rich in character crime caper. A thriller that packs romance, humor, excitment and thrills into one real deal. A slickly written, well-craft...( read more)ed and terifficly performed film. George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez are teriffic together, showing such compelling and dynamic chemistry. Clooney is slick, impressive and sensational. Lopez is at her very best. Ving Rhames is teriffic.
