Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

avik-basu1889 Is it at times funny? Yes. Is it well shot? Yes. Does the chemistry between Clooney and Lopez work? Yes. However, despite some of its individual elements working well, the film as a whole felt a little too derivative, a little too predictable and a little too bland for me to be really impressed. It's good, but not memorable good.

jimbo-53-186511 Career bank robber Jack Foley (George Clooney) busts out of jail with the help of his old friend and ex-prison inmate Buddy Bragg (Ving Rhames). The pair plan to pull off one last job by robbing Richard Ripley (Albert Brooks) who is one of Foley's ex-prison mates, but complications ensue when Foley falls for Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) a US Marshal tasked with bringing him in and another former prison inmate Snoopy Maurice Miller (Don Cheadle) also decides that he is going to rob Ripley as well...Out Of Sight is a promising little film that is alive and energetic (for about the first 10 minutes), but sadly it just isn't able to sustain this kind of momentum throughout its rather generous 120 minute running time...Although it's clearly a major part of the story I personally thought that the idea of a US Marshal falling in love with a career bank robber was completely ridiculous, but I might have found this scenario enjoyable if it had been played out in an amusing and entertaining manner. The fact that we're actually meant to take it serious is preposterous and if I'm honest this aspect alone sucked most of the life out of the film. Some of J Lo and Clooney's scenes together seem to show evidence of a director who may have been more in love with the leads than they were with themselves. In fact to call some of it 'self-indulgent' would be an understatement.Out Of Sight is another film with a non-linear narrative which again isn't a problem for me, but I did feel that certain scenes were included that served no real purpose in the story; the character of Snoopy Miller is given quite a large backstory from when he was in prison and about him being a boxer and how he met Foley etc. Yes I get that Miller is relevant to the story, but what relevance did all of the above have to the story? Would it have made any difference if Miller and Foley simply met on the outside? To me a lot of this felt like padding and I just felt that if Soderbergh stretched this film anymore it would snap. The same thing could be said for Michael Keaton who shows up in the film for about 10 minutes in a worthless role that added absolutely nothing to the film (it was an uncredited role according to IMDb).I'm always prepared to forgive some flaws within a film if it is either interesting or entertaining, but Out Of Sight doesn't even fulfil these basic needs. What story there is seems to be pretty much forgotten until about the last 15 minutes and prior to this you're left with an uninteresting and jarring narrative and J Lo and Clooney either stalking each other or making doe eyes at each other. The only things really running in this film's favour is Clooney and Rhames' chemistry and the film also benefits from good performances from the principal cast (particularly Rhames and Cheadle who rarely disappoint).Out Of Sight is pedestrian, meandering, sluggish and dull and even the sight of an impossibly attractive J Lo being in this film isn't enough for me to be able to recommend it.

eric262003 "Out of Sight" stars a hard-working bank criminal named Jack Foley (George Clooney) and an temptingly sexy US Marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) are placed in the back of a car truck after Foley makes his escape from a Florida prison. Once his escape the thought has gone as planned, Foley is hunted down by Sisco, while his accomplices which includes his trustworthy assistant Buddy (Ving Rhames) and his not so reliable ally Glenn (Steve Zahn) work their ways to one of the more wealthier suburbs located in nearby Detroit. There they join forces with a suspicious business dealer named Ripley (Albert Brooks) who once sent them to jail on account of uncut diamonds found in his home. A dangerous assassin named Maurice Miller (Don Cheadle) has plans to invade Ripley's mansion accompanied his posse which includes Kenny (Isiah Washington) an White Boy Bob(Keith Loneker). While this is happening, Foley and Sisco get comfortable with each other in a Detroit hotel room where their romance is put to the test concludes in showdown as Foley enters Ripley's estate which contribute to the fun that they were having together. The question is are they in love or is Sisco pursuing to have him arrested? The first thing that caught my eye when watching "Out of Sight" was that it was very cool. But "cool" can be very hard to evaluate. I've been around movies for over 20 years and there have been equally proportioned good "cool" and bad ones as well. In many way, Steven Soderburgh has captured the coolness of this film as a reminiscing of the old 1960's espionage heist film that had run rampant in that time period. The cat games seem to make it very obvious. For a film to succeed in being cool, you need to convey manipulative tactics to your audience to make them think that this movie truly defines "cool" so that they can demand for more. By the time this movie makes it to Detroit is when the cool factor really starts to kick in and that was when I was really starting to like this film.In this movie we can all appreciate the cool things about it, but the more specific definition of the cool factor of this movie is the sexiness it brought to the screen that both genders can truly pander about. I think we all now by now that J-Lo is not that great of an actress. At best she can come across as an average performer (it may not help that her career choices in films have not always been to kind to her). But in "Out of Sight" I'll let the blind squirrel find his nut. In other words, she actually was pretty good here. That's mainly because Mr. Soderburgh knew that at best Miss Lopez can excel if she doesn't do very much on screen. In reality, it's the camera-work that's the real star here and it gives J-Lo the chance to reveal her sumptuous physique without really do much of anything else.On the contrary, George Clooney is a very capable and more competent performer than J-Lo and his camera-work excels better because he can still convey sex appeal to the female audience while at the same time he could back it up with versatile acting. And instead he can takes more charge to the camera than J-Lo and never lets it usurp him. So his combination of suave and talent embodies the dynamics of Clooney's repertoire.Now in most films cool and suave would surely not churn out a film that is real. But much to my surprise, "Out of Sight" actually has a believable story nailed into the suave and sex appeal behind and is never upstaged by it. There are some implausible scenarios that are a bit far-fetched like the climactic heist near the end of the film. But the characters succeed in keeping it real and the situations they face give us that impression as the film progresses. There is great chemistry between J-Lo and Clooney and we feel for them all the way through the film even though they're from the opposing sides of the law (opposites attract). The other supporting cast were also convincing including Ving Rhames as Clooney's trusted accomplice, Steve Zahn as the screw-up assistant and Albert Brooks as the rich nerdy guy. Behind this heist film, we have lots to believe.The camera-work was really put together quite elegantly where the rural and the urban settings really cooperate quite nicely. I thought it was quite believable that Miami looks very vibrant and colorful and while the mean streets of Detroit has the darkness dominating the streets with the exception of the odd bluish tint. And for that the cool factor comes into play with the impression that Mr. Soderbergh chose style over substance in this movie. There are a lot of crime-dramas out there that either choose, style, substance or plausibility. But in "Out of Sight", we see all three come together and to me it really makes my days all the more better.

Andrey Viun Very interesting action film about a bank robber Foley (George Clooney) and policewoman Karen (Jennifer Lopez). Both are charismatic and play their roles really good. This film has interesting plot, nice characters, romantic love story and sexy moments. One of the most interesting moment here is when Karen and Foley are in the luggage rack and talk to each other, their dialogue is something to enjoy! They talk about Bonnie and Clyde another classic film from the sixties so from that moment its definitely they have sympathy for each other. The ending is also quite unexpectable when Foley returns to prison but Karen wants to deliver him there. It's not a masterpiece, but still a good film to enjoy!
