1998 Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Meet Jack Foley, a smooth criminal who bends the law and is determined to make one last heist. Karen Sisco is a federal marshal who chooses all the right moves … and all the wrong guys. Now they're willing to risk it all to find out if there's more between them than just the law.

"they put a gun on you, you still have a choice."
damn remember when pop movies were allowed to be funny and sexy.
"Is this your first time being robbed?"
Visually striking and artistically creative editing style, replete with match cuts, freeze frames, and a truly show-stopping cross-cut sexual fantasy (it's no wonder to find Lawrence of Arabia's Anne V. Coates in the editing room). Massive ensemble expertly directed to bring to life a cast of strong characters with a smart, funny script. Smooth bass line, funky slide guitar and groovy keyboards running through a characteristically jazzy soundtrack. Out of Sight is a surprisingly lovely gem from a truly great director. One of Soderbergh's best.

Fuuuuuuuuuck it’s so good. Electric. Every scene is alive. The editorial! The work of master craftspeople at the peak of their storytelling powers.
Mhm...that was spicy.
I like spicy.
Out of Sight is a star, it's gravitational pull makes me a planet I guess because I'm not going anywhere while I watch Soderbergh's pizzazziest flick(and my favorite). Lopez and Clooney is the definition of chemistry. Oily and slick. The soft yellows and oranges throughout are mood inducingly sophisticated. Oozing with delectable dialogue and hilarious moments placed just right. The sexy comedic crime canvas has been achieved. Well done Mr. Soderbergh. Bravo!👌🔥
Been on somewhat of an Elmore Leonard kick lately --- and a lot of people whose opinions I respect swear by OUT OF SIGHT --- so I really wanted to like this one more than I did. In his 3.5 star review, Ebert said that OUT OF SIGHT captured the tone of Leonard's novels better than either of the two other most recent adaptations of his work, JACKIE BROWN and GET SHORTY. And maybe he's right about that (I haven't read enough Leonard at this point to say one way or the other). But maybe that's not a good thing. Again, I'm just getting into Leonard, but so far I've noticed he can be pretty damn corny at times. Maybe…
This is another rest example of Clooney playing the role he was meant for - a con man. Also the sexual tension and romance between him and JLo is, in short, electrifying.
That big white guy slips a lot.
Great heist movie. I'm honestly surprised that more people have not suggested or talked about this one. This must have been Clooney's practice for Ocean's Eleven. The plots are similar enough.
Is it possible that Soderbergh plagiarized his own movie? Can you even do that? Is that like movie-ception?
This feels like pure, concentrated late-90s romantic thriller right down to its old, dusty blueprint. George Clooney is peak Clooney, being all suave but a “bad guy” who is not a bad guy. Jennifer Lopez is tough and competent but also sexy at peak JLo. Over 20 years later, this movie could seem pretty tired and “I’ve seen this before,” but there is something pleasing about seeing a film that sticks so dutifully to a type and style. It’s exactly what you want and expect with no surprises.
Cameos by Samuel L Jackson and Michael Keaton, playing his character from Jackie Brown (1997) no less, are kind of goofy but super entertaining. Don Cheadle playing a gangster, prison stereotype…
extremely stylish, extremely cool. Soderbergh experiments with form in such a fun way (esp. with chronology in this but also other little touches like the use of freeze frames throughout). great Samuel L Jackson cameo.
