Review of Out of Sight (1998) by Ginger J — 16 Nov 2007
Not too bad, I was just expecting it to be a little better. George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez had better chemistry than I would have expected, but that doesn't make the overall movie worth more than 3 stars.
George Clooney is Jack Foley, the most successful bank robber in the country. On the day he busts out of jail, he meets Karen Sisco, and easily falls for her. Unfortunately for him, she's a federal agent, but the two start to risk everything to find out if there could have been something between them. It's not exactly original, there's a lot of movies with themes like this, but this is one of the only ones that I have seen. It's not completely romance but there was a lot more than I expected. I would have liked to see more action from this film..
George Clooney was the best he could be with his character, which was very good. Jennifer Lopez didn't have that talent that he did, so the chemistry collided with good acting and in that way sometimes it didn't work. Don Cheadle's part was unfortunately small, but his acting was decent for that part he had. Oh and I'll just have to mention Steve Zahn, he made this a lot more enjoyable.
The verdict is you'll like this if you're into romance and action movies, it wasn't exactly my type so I didn't like it as much. Not the best of movies, but it's watchable.
