Ari V At its best, it's Heaved (Ribisi, Blanchette) light. Very light. But it's filled with enough talent to make it pretty impossible to dislike. Not when I was a teen and not almost 30 years later. One thing I do notice now and didn't then however, is how much better it could have been with main stars who aren't so impenetra bly charismatic and better at character acting. Something Zahn shines brightest at here. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Shioka O Not bad. Zero thrills. All look young and attractive. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Bryan J I recently watched Out of Sight, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the film follows Jack Foley, a charming bank robber played by George Clooney, who escapes from prison and ends up kidnapping U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco, portrayed by Jennifer Lopez. The chemistry between Clooney and Lopez is palpable, making their cat-and-mouse dynamic both engaging and entertaining. The movie masterfully blends elements of crime, romance, and comedy, creating a unique and captivating narrative. The sharp dialogue and witty interactions keep the story lively, while the non-linear storytelling adds depth without causing confusion. Soderbergh's direction brings a stylish flair to the film, complemented by a cool, jazzy soundtrack that enhances the overall vibe. Supporting performances by Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, and Steve Zahn add richness to the ensemble, each bringing their own flavor to the story. The film's pacing is well-balanced, maintaining tension and interest throughout its runtime. Overall, Out of Sight is a smart, sexy, and stylish film that offers a fresh take on the crime genre. It's a movie that combines strong performances, clever writing, and adept direction to deliver a thoroughly satisfying experience. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review alan g Horribly overrated. JBlow as a Federal Marshal. Really? Clowney as a conman I can see. Impossibly unbelievable situations. It works if you suspend reality, gravity, time and space... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Zazoo909 C Frightfully over-rated, folks. Really cute set-up - Clooney and J-Lo locked in the trunk of a car together, him a crook, her a marshall, and even here Clooney makes her melt. Given, Clooney is always effortless, with a smile to charm the pants off anyone, both sexes. But he's far too handsome and smart to play such a loser conman (except in O, Brother, in which his character is so perfectly comic strip-silly that it works). And J-Lo has too velvety a voice to play a ballsy US Marshall. Their chemistry works OK, but their ultimate rendezvous is yawn-inspiring - and that's meant to be the core of the whole story. Along with that, we get dozens of quasi-interesting characters in sub-plots that lead nowhere, except to leave you wishing for a less flabby script. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Gus L Soderbergh's usage of lighting and music was incredible. That being said, the plot at times felt a little contrived, and several of the sequences got a little too surreal for a film whose calling card is its realism. Michael Keaton stole the show in his one scene, but most of the performances were good. Overall, this movie was a mixed bag, with some cool stuff with the directing, editing, and acting, but also a disappointment with other portions of the directing and editing, in addition to the contrived plot.
