Wild and chaotic action/drama/comedy that was basically ignored by everyone in 1998, but was definitely one of the top ten films of the year. Bank robber George Clooney escapes prison one day and is tracked by a female federal marshal (Jennifer Lopez, in a very hot performance). There is definitely a chemistry between Clooney and Lopez that will lead to fireworks on more than one occasion. Clooney has teamed up with some crazed criminals for a jewel heist, but Lopez continues to track him relentlessly. "Out of Sight" is so full of, well, everything. It is packed with action, romance, drama, and some very black comedy. Clooney and Lopez do the best work of their careers. The supporting cast is super as well. Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, Michael Keaton, Dennis Farina, and Albert Brooks all shine with the inventive screenplay and the top-notch direction. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

"Out of Sight" was one of the best movies of 1998, and yet it was ignored by moviegoers. I am amazed that most of George Clooney's movies fail, with the exception of "Batman and Robin" all of his films have been good. This film has good performances from a talented cast and great direction from an original story by Elmore Leonard. Highly reccomended.

Boy, this is a volatile cast and a diverse one, from pretty boy George Clooney to pretty girl Jennifer Lopez to burly Ving Rhames and little Don Cheadle to explosive Dennis Farina and low-key comedian (usually) Albert Brooks. Yes, this is a strange cast.The movie....well, it's okay but not as wild as the cast. At least it's entertaining, which is the name of the game. It won't win any awards, but you won't fall asleep watching it for the full two hours. Just be ready for lots of profanity. It's a colorful movie, and this time I don't mean the cast. I mean there are some brilliant colors in here, making it a good visual film.
