Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

thirdeyemedia There are many things that people have missed when people have given this film a mediocre score. The romantic chemistry between the two has to be built quickly because there is so much plot to fill in, yet it has to be convincing. This it does so smoothly that it is completely undervalued by audiences, yet how often have we seen this done badly - or not even attempted.It is one of the first proper revivifications of the noire/caper genre, and is done so slickly, with great music, little quirks in editing, great pacing and simple understated performances that it seems easy to overlook these things and just enjoy it.If you look beyond the plot (which is fun btw, it has several different strands that unfold at different paces using a mixture of flash back and time shifts alongside conventional plot devices which was quite unique for the time) there is something put together really fluently which few film makers achieve nowadays. Suspense, character development, romance, action and intrigue.Personally I consider this a far better film than the Oceans films and it helped me fall in love with J'Lo as a teenage lad, despite her never really making another good movie, and really me falling in love with the character and the situation.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Steven Soderbergh's Out Of Sight is an excellent low key crime caper, and my personal favourite adaptation of an Elmore Leonard Book. It has that easy, laconic, dialogue heavy yet not too dense way about it that just makes for easy watching. George Clooney, all effortless cool and swagger, plays Jack, an ex con who crosses paths with Federal Marshall Karen Sisco, a no nonsense girl who gradually finds herself attracted to Jack. Lopez is underrated as an actress and I get excited every time she has the chance to give a good genre turn (The Cell, U Turn). Their chemistry on screen is electric, especially in one sequence where they are locked in a car trunk, casually discussing movies as they each begin to become more comfortable in each other's presence. Leonard, also penning the books which would go on to become Jackie Brown, Get Shorty and FX's Justified, works with a naturalistic, free flowing form when creating his characters, and it's wonderful to see unfold on screen. Dennis Farina is sympathetic as Lopez's father, Michael Keaton shows up as another Marshall, and their is solid work from Steve Zahn, Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks, and a surprise cameo right in the end. In the world of romantic, easy going crime capers, this one stands out as memorable, bittersweet, and above all, fun.

eric262003 "Out of Sight" stars a hard-working bank criminal named Jack Foley (George Clooney) and an temptingly sexy US Marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) are placed in the back of a car truck after Foley makes his escape from a Florida prison. Once his escape the thought has gone as planned, Foley is hunted down by Sisco, while his accomplices which includes his trustworthy assistant Buddy (Ving Rhames) and his not so reliable ally Glenn (Steve Zahn) work their ways to one of the more wealthier suburbs located in nearby Detroit. There they forces with a suspicious business dealer named Ripley (Albert Brooks) who once sent them to jail on of uncut diamonds found in his home. A dangerous assassin named Maurice Miller (Don Cheadle) has plans to invade Ripley's mansion accompanied his posse which includes Kenny (Isiah Washington) an White Boy Bob(Keith Loneker). While this is happening, Foley and Sisco get comfortable with each other in a Detroit hotel room where their romance is put to the test concludes in showdown as Foley enters Ripley's estate which contribute to the fun that they were having together. The question is are they in love or is Sisco pursuing to have him arrested? The first thing that caught my eye when watching "Out of Sight" was that it was very cool. But "cool" can be very hard to evaluate. I've been around movies for over 20 years and there have been equally proportioned good "cool" and bad ones as well. In many way, Steven Soderburgh has captured the coolness of this film as a reminiscing of the old 1960's espionage heist film that had run rampant in that time period. The cat games seem to make it very obvious. For a film to succeed in being cool, you need to convey manipulative tactics to your audience to make them think that this movie truly defines "cool" so that they can demand for more. By the time this movie makes it to Detroit is when the cool factor really starts to kick in and that was when I was really starting to like this film.In this movie we can all appreciate the cool things about it, but the more specific definition of the cool factor of this movie is the sexiness it brought to the screen that both genders can truly pander about. I think we all now by now that J-Lo is not that great of an actress. At best she can come across as an average performer (it may not help that her career choices in films have not always been to kind to her). But in "Out of Sight" I'll let the blind squirrel find his nut. In other words, she actually was pretty good here. That's mainly because Mr. Soderburgh knew that at best Miss Lopez can excel if she doesn't do very much on screen. In reality, it's the camera-work that's the real star here and it gives J-Lo the chance to reveal her sumptuous physique without really do much of anything else.On the contrary, George Clooney is a very capable and more competent performer than J-Lo and his camera-work excels better because he can still convey sex appeal to the female audience while at the same time he could back it up with versatile acting. And instead he can takes more charge to the camera than J-Lo and never lets it usurp him. So his combination of suave and talent embodies the dynamics of Clooney's repertoire.Now in most films cool and suave would surely not churn out a film that is real. But much to my surprise, "Out of Sight" actually has a believable story nailed into the suave and sex appeal behind and is never upstaged by it. There are some implausible scenarios that are a bit far-fetched like the climactic heist near the end of the film. But the characters succeed in keeping it real and the situations they face give us that impression as the film progresses. There is great chemistry between J-Lo and Clooney and we feel for them all the way through the film even though they're from the opposing sides of the law (opposites attract). The other ing cast were also convincing including Ving Rhames as Clooney's trusted accomplice, Steve Zahn as the screw-up assistant and Albert Brooks as the rich nerdy guy. Behind this heist film, we have lots to believe.The camera-work was really put together quite elegantly where the rural and the urban settings really cooperate quite nicely. I thought it was quite believable that Miami looks very vibrant and colorful and while the mean streets of Detroit has the darkness dominating the streets with the exception of the odd bluish tint. And for that the cool factor comes into play with the impression that Mr. Soderbergh chose style over substance in this movie. There are a lot of crime-dramas out there that either choose, style, substance or plausibility. But in "Out of Sight", we see all three come together and to me it really makes my days all the more better.

Andrey Viun Very interesting action film about a bank robber Foley (George Clooney) and policewoman Karen (Jennifer Lopez). Both are charismatic and play their roles really good. This film has interesting plot, nice characters, romantic love story and sexy moments. One of the most interesting moment here is when Karen and Foley are in the luggage rack and talk to each other, their dialogue is something to enjoy! They talk about Bonnie and Clyde another classic film from the sixties so from that moment its definitely they have sympathy for each other. The ending is also quite unexpectable when Foley returns to prison but Karen wants to deliver him there. It's not a masterpiece, but still a good film to enjoy!
