Out of Sight (Collector's Edition) Best Review
This film is about a charming silly bank robber who gets thrown in jail only to con a break out and run into a beautiful federal officer who he has to manhandle in order to get away. They have an intimate teet a teet? in the trunk of the car. It is chemistry with these two who are on the opposite sides of the law. It has a bit of a cat and mouse feel but they finally come together and let their guards down in order to make sexual banter turn real. They want to be in denial for just a little while before they have to return back to their roles. She doesnt sacrifice her job responsibility but the movie leaves it open for the two of them somewhere down the road. The things I liked about this film, I love Steven Sodenberg's films, this has a hipness and a creative indie feel to it. Lopez and Clooney can make it happen on the screen. I like her character she is tough and feminine. Her relationship with her father was able to be felt and even desired. Her dad really loved and adored her. She had a close intimate relationship with him. I liked the beautiful motel, the beautiful views and the glow of the lamps in the bar. Her job seemed fun and it felt easy and not scar the way she dealt with criminals. It was too funny watching her and Glenn's interactions. Her prettiness and makeup was something that I liked. Adele's job as a magician assistant was kinda fun and she seemed to stand out even if only in a short scene. I like Catherine Keener, she gives her character a color and creative feel. The actor who plays Glenn I like, I think he is a good with comedy. The two actors driving in Florida, brought back the memories of all the lush plants and trees. They were just in life and in moment which was cool, to hard to explain that here, would have liked this, again hard to explain. I liked the togetherness that her and her father shared in the neat restaurant with the marina. The introspectiveness of her being alone and than Jack showing up charging the scene with seduction of words and charged electriciy. The film is good, not Sodenbergs best but worth viewing for certain.

Out of Sight (Collector's Edition) Specifications
Out of Sight was one of the best movies of 1998, but ironically this superior crime comedy was a box-office disappointment. Fortunately the movie can enjoy a long life on home video, where it can be savored by anyone who missed its original release. Making his best film since 1989's sex, lies, and videotape, director Steven Soderbergh pays tribute to the signature wit and intricacy of Elmore Leonard's novel, brilliantly adapted by Scott Frank, the gifted screenwriter who previously adapted Leonard's Get Shorty. The movie's a prime showcase for the talent and chemistry of George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, respectively playing a career bank robber who's escaped from jail and the federal agent who falls for his charms while tracking him down. Soderbergh directs with confident visual flair, shifting time- lines (à la Pulp Fiction) to weave together subplots and maintain vivid focus on Leonard's splendid characters and smooth-as-silk dialogue. While the sexy repartée between Clooney and Lopez recalls the vintage interplay of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Ving Rhames and Steve Zahn add ample comic relief as Clooney's accomplices. Dennis Farina is memorable as Lopez's father, and Albert Brooks is almost unrecognizable as a Wall Street crook whose mansion--and a cache of uncut diamonds--provides the setting for the film's climactic caper. As orchestrated by Soderbergh, the film offers a feast of plot twists and surprises, but it never loses track of its delightful characters and the clever wit that brings them so vividly to life. The Collector's Edition DVD includes commentary by Soderbergh, deleted scenes, production notes, theatrical trailers, and more. --Jeff Shannon

Didn't care for it. - Michele Greene - Jacksonville,FL
I thought it was going to be very good because of J.LO and George Clooney. WRONG. This was as boring as tomato soup. Don't buy this.
Strictly By The Numbers - Glenn Gallagher - Sacramento, CA
Out Of Sight isn't a completely bad film. The problem is, it isn't a very good film either. I felt the entire plot, acting, and directing were done strictly by the numbers, that is, by the book and by the formula. There was no passion in its creation, no creative spark, no joy. Very formulaic for a crime film, with the romantic part thrown in (no comedy to speak of, so I can't say it was a romantic comedy with a crime element).
Clooney's acting is barely passable - he's just being his usual self-charmed character, and says all of his lines like he's in love with himself. Jennifer Lopez was okay as a detective, she's almost believable as a cop. Steve Zahn was the only real treat in this otherwise tired, worn-out film. Steve plays a loser criminal who leads Clooney to the "big score" of uncut diamonds.
Boring. Cliche. Old school. Tired formula even when it was a new film. I only watched the film because it received some great reviews, but until the very, very, end, I kept wondering "when is it going to get good?".
More of a Silly Comedy/Romance - Loyd E. Eskildson - Phoenix, AZ.
Florida bank robber Jack Folely (George Clooney) plays a genteel game of cat-and-mouse with Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) a stunning federal marshal he meets in the trunk of a getaway car. The Director is Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) who inserts freeze-frames, time-shifting, as well as a hip jazzy-soul music soundtrack.
The movie is enjoyable and not too bloody or gory. It focuses more on the romance between Jack and Karen as they go through the cops and robbers chase. More than a bit silly.
