Review of Out of Sight (1998) by Sgt. C — 06 Dec 2014

(54%).

A clear Elmore Leonard based story with it's characters leaning both between crime and law enforcement, and sometimes even both. This has a little more than a connection with "Jackie Brown", with Michael Keaton reprising his role which is something that doesn't happen very often in movies made by different people. This though isn't nowhere near as good as "Jackie Brown", the characters aren't as well crafted, it doesn't have the depth, and the plot in general is not as good or well told. With that said it is an easier film to get into on the first watch, and it is likely to be Jennifer Lopez's best staring role of her acting career. This is worth a look, but it isn't a modern-day classic that many claim.
