FILM DETAILS

Certificate 15

Cast George Clooney Jennifer Lopez Ving Rhames Albert Brooks

Directors Steven Soderbergh

Screenwriters Scott Frank

Running Time 123 minutes

Out Of Sight (15)

Plot
An unlikely romance develops between a fast-talking but incompetent bank robber Jack Foley (Clooney) and sultry federal agent Karen Sisco (Lopez).

Verdict
Last year's most overlooked movie, this is Elmore Leonard lent class, wit and sheer, unforseen star magic. Clooney and Lopez sizzle on screen, revealing not only hidden depths but the forgotten fact that great movies are built on beautiful, poetic, funny character interaction. Thereís a heist, a jail break, and a flawless melding of comedy and drama and Steven Soderbergh ties it together like a master.
