Great direction from Steven Soderbergh, the movie that showed us that Mr.Clooney was more than that handsome guy from "ER" or that guy in the horrible Batman movie. Clooney had that Cary Grant swagger and charm in this great role.

From the very beginning, it has you hooked and does not let go until the end. George Clooney is great in the lead role as expected. Jennifer Lopez, who I had never seen act before, also does a good job at doing what she does best; being sexy. Her acting is also good. Ving Rhames and Don Cheadle also have very good supporting turns here. I am not a huge fan of Steven Soderbergh usually, but he does very well here in the director's chair and manages to craft a very entertaining romantic crime film and make the romance feel authentic and the crime element thrilling and exciting. In addition, the comedy element was good. It was not gut busting laugh after gut busting laugh, but it was used sparingly and effectively to lighten up the mood. Overall, Out of Sight is a good, entertaining film that feels like more than your regular old heist film.… Expand

With a witty script, slickly-directed action set pieces, and a fine central performance, "Out Of Sight" competently elevates itself above the common crime-drama rabble.

Mish mash of crime and dramedy. The superb cast, soundtrack and cinematography shine through some of the weird 90's-ness.

The superb cast, soundtrack and cinematography shine through some of the weird 90's-ness. At times it feels like the direction and screenplay come across as pretentious sacrificing common sense for its characters instead choosing witty dialogue'. Despite this it is a compelling watch from start to finish.… Expand
