Review of Out of Sight (1998) by Dave J — 05 Mar 2012

George Clooney is a serial bank robber who manages to escape a prison through a dugout and takes an attractive female FBI agent (Jennifer Lopez) hostage while on his initial run. He and his fellow crooks (which include Don Cheadle) successfully flee and Lopez is finally found by her colleagues.

Then the story gets weird: while in pursuit for Clooney, Lopez begins to fantasize a steamy affair, which eventually does materialize, with the hunky criminal himself. Silly and fun film that has slow spots, but is full of charm and wit for which it can be forgiven.

Lopez, who has been subsequently in number of films that have not been a critical success, shines in her role, as does Clooney. Both stars have very good chemistry. Pretty entertaining movie.
