just okay timepass..

I watched this over and over for a period. The actors are all so great, even J-Lo delivers. The script is sharp, and Soderbergh just makes it snap. Very crisp and cool and some groovy tracks.

One of my favorite romantic movies, Clooney and Lopez have chemistry that just leaps off the screen!

Clooney is great, as is the supporting cast--Steve Zahn, Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks, Catherine Keener, and an odd ending with Samuel L. Jackson. Even Jennifer Lopez isn't bad. It's fun, funny, exciting, sad, suspenseful, sexy, and stylish. It's a little uneven at times, occasionally a little bit too focused on entertainment at the expense of anything substantial, but it's great fun, and there's a lot of really lovely personality to it. Not perfect, but terrific stuff.

"Out of sight" e' costruito con ironia, avanza con movimenti ondulatori e geniali espedienti stilistici ("stopframe" incantevoli, flashback repentini, salti temporali e divagazioni). La Lopez sexy come non mai (la scena nel portabagagli e' da ricordare), mentre Clooney si muove lungo tutto il film con fascino ed eleganza.

that was humorous...

The cinematography complements the distinctiveness of Soderbergh's highly distinctive visual style that brings to life the bright colors of Miami, as well as the dark hues of New York. The performances by the esemble cast are rock solid. George Clooney finally hits his stride as the charismatic leading man he always had the potential to be, and his swagger is undeniable as the bank robber, Jack Foley; as is his chemistry with leading lady Jennifer Lopez. The interplay off of Clooney and Lopez is a huge reason for the film working as well as it did, and it is some of the best work either of them have done in their careers. Also noteworthy is Don Cheadle, who is just tremendous in his supporting role as the antagonist Maurice, AKA: "Snoopy." This is the first time I really see Cheadle come into his own and command the scenes he's in with his timing and his comedic wit. Overall, a great film, and Soderbergh's best since "Sex, Lies and Videotape."
