Plot: Steven Soderbergh directed this crime caper adapted from the novel by Elmore Leonard. When ex-con Jack Foley (George Clooney) robs a bank, his car goes dead, and Foley lands in a Florida prison. His escape from prison doesn't go as planned, since it's witnessed by deputy federal marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). Foley's pal Buddy Bragg (Ving Rhames) intervenes, with the result that Sisco winds up in the trunk of the getaway car with Foley, and the two realize they're attracted to each other, despite being on opposite sides of the law. However, that doesn't stop Sisco from her mission to capture Foley, who has spent much of his life in prison. Flashbacks introduce Foley's fellow prisoners, including dim dude Glenn Michaels (Steve Zahn), violent Maurice Snoopy Miller (Don Cheadle), and insider trader and billionaire Richard Ripley (Albert Brooks), who talks too much about his wealth. This later leads to a break-in at Ripley's posh Detroit estate by Miller, his brother-in-law Kenneth (Isaiah Washington), and menacing White Boy Rob (Keith Loneker). While seeking a hidden safe, the group threatens Ripley's housekeeper Midge (Nancy Allen). Foley and Bragg are in on this operation, but they wind up outwitting the others, and Sisco is close on their trail. The film features uncredited cameos by Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson, and was shot in locations in Florida, Louisiana, and Michigan. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Out of Sight is truly one of the great films of the 90s. Clooney and Lopez have amazing, unbelievable chemistry, and the supporting cast never disappoints. I can and do watch the bar and trunk scenes over and over again, because they're so nuanced and so well put-together it's simply a pleasure reveling in the craftsmanship of it all. If you haven't seen this movie, rent it, and after you rent it buy it. You'll never want for 123 minutes of entertainment again.

3.5 stars out of 4

The Bottom Line:

A smart, sexy, and well-directed thriller that races through its running length and ends perfectly, Out of Sight may be remembered now for relaunching Steven Soderbergh after years in the wilderness and being an important stepping stone in George Clooney's career, but it's an extremely entertaining film in its own right.

All star cast & outstanding story.......
Added 6/4/2009

A great, great movie that I haven't thought about in ten years!

I own alot of DVDs and alot of old VHS tapes, I had "Out of Sight" buried at the bottom and decided to watch it for the second time ever (since I bought it (99').

Wow, was I surprised! The movie is excellent, the cast is a super star studded lineup like no other-

George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Steve Zahn, Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, Samuel L. Jackson, Luis Guzman (Waiting), Catherine Keener (40 Year Old Virgin), Michael Keaton, Dennis Farina, Isiah Washington and Albert Brooks all star in "Out of Sight"!

Great writing, great acting!

"Out of Sight" is based off the book written by Elmore Leonard, all the movies based off his books are good - "Killshot", "3:10 to Yuma", "Get Shorty" and "Be Cool"!

Enjoy this one, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent Movie with Orginal Plot
Added 2/15/2009

I have been reading the negative reviews on this movie and feel like no one really understood what this movie was about. The love story between Jenifer Lopez and George Clooney is a big part of the movie, but the heist pulled off at the end of this movie is what draws you in and keeps you focused. The originality in the plot is something that has never been examined before, a love story between a federal marshall and a convict. A lot of the negative reviews have been ripping Clooney's acting, but his cool delivery makes you believe he can pull off whatever he wants. The struggle between good and evil and the fine line between them is also examined. Director Steven Sodebergh briallantly delivers a story that keeps you guessing all the way to the end what might happen. Something that I have not seen in the previous reviews is the performances of Don Cheadle and Steve Zahn, each bring a compelling element to the movie and make the story whole and very entertaining. The final robbery at the end is set up wonderfully and brings some closure to the movie. One last note, I thought the addition of Samuel L. Jackson at the end of the movie was a wonderful touch. In summary, disregard all the negative reviews as this is an excellently crafted movie and will keep your interest all the way through
