DVD Reviews of Out of Sight (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: A classic movie with a great cast!
Summary: 5 Stars
Author Elmore "Dutch" Leonard has written over forty novels in about as many years, most of which have been turned into feature films. To my knowledge, only four of his crime thrillers have been turned into successful movies: 52 Pick-up, Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, and Out of Sight. Whatever the magic is that Mr. Leonard puts into each of his books, few directors are able to capture it on screen. The same thing can be said for the novels by Stephen King. Only a handful of well-made movies come to mind. When the magic is captured, it's a truly amazing experience to behold in the arena of movie making. Out of Sight, starring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, is one of these rare experiences where everything comes together perfectly. The director, Steven Soderbergh, and screenplay writer, Scott Frank, were able to stay true to Leonard's words, as well as being able to transfer the heart and soul of the story to the big screen. Though it seems like few people actually saw this film when it was released theatrically, this is the movie that I think made major stars out of Clooney and Lopez, not to mention boosting the careers of Don Cheadle and Steve Zahn and Ving Rhames. Out of Sight, like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown, is now considered a classic to fans of the "crime caper." This is a movie that you want to have in your film library.
Out of Sight deals with Jack Foley (played by Clooney), the country's most successful bank robber. When Jack escapes from a Florida correction's facility, he accidentally runs into Federal Marshal, Karen Sisco (played by Lopez), who's at the prison to serve some papers. Unable to leave her behind, Jack and his pal, Buddy (played by Rhames), toss her into the trunk of her own car. Jack climbs in behind her, and Buddy quickly drives the car away from the prison and to safety. It's during the trunk ride that Jack and Karen develop feelings for each other, each realizing the impossibility of the situation. After the getaway, Jack refuses to forget Karen and what the experience meant to him. This eventually leads Karen to Detroit, where she hopes to arrest Jack before he can pull off one last score. Of course, both of them have to call a time out in order to see if there's any real chemistry in their relationship and, boy, is there! Unfortunately, Jack has to go ahead with the final robbery and Karen will have to arrest him, if she gets the opportunity. No one ever said love would be easy.
Though George Clooney has done a number of extremely successful films since Out of Sight, I still consider this movie to be his best. He captured the charm and wit of Jack Foley to a tee and made you believe that a bank robber and a Federal Marshal could actually fall in love with each other. Jennifer Lopez was also at her best in this movie. She shined with beauty and intellect and determination as a Federal Marshal who's prepared to shoot the man she loves, if it comes down to that. Don Cheadle brought the character of Maurice (aka Snoopy) alive in such a way that you couldn't help but like him, even though he's the bad guy. That's a tough job to do for any actor. I will say that Steve Zahn came close to stealing every scene that he was in as the pot-smoking Glenn Michaels, making you laugh out loud at his realistic, yet funny behavior. The cast was simply perfect all the way around, bringing special nuances to their characters that made them stand out. There were even cameo appearances by Michael Keaton, reviving his role as Ray Nicolette, the ATF agent from the movie, Jackie Brown, plus Samuel L. Jackson in a short, but powerful scene at the end that brings a hopeful smile to your face. This is also the movie that established a partnership between Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney. They would go on to make several more hit movies together after this one. Out of Sight is definitely the type of film that you can watch over and over again. It'll make you laugh, while keeping you on the edge of your seat for the final showdown. I only wish that Hollywood could make more movies like this. The extras include a thirty-minute behind the scenes documentary, plus twenty minutes of deleted scenes and a movie commentary with its director and screenwriter.
Description of Out of Sight (Collector's Edition)
Meet Jack Foley, the most successful bank robber in the country. On the day he busts out of jail, he finds himself stealing something far more precious than money... Karen Sisco's heart. She's smart. She's sexy, and unfortunately for Jack, she's a Federal Marshal. Now, they're willing to risk it all to find out if there's more between them than just the law. Out of Sight, starring George Clooney as the smooth criminal who bends the laws and is determined to make one last heist, and Jennifer Lopez who chooses all the right moves... and all the wrong guys. Variety hails Out of Sight "a sly, vastly entertaining film." Starring: George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Dennis Farina, Albert Brooks, Ving Rhames, Steve Zahn, Nancy Allen, Catherine Keener, Luis Guzman, Isaiah Washington Directed by: Steven SoderberghOut of Sight was one of the best movies of 1998, but ironically this superior crime comedy was a box-office disappointment. Fortunately the movie can enjoy a long life on home video, where it can be savored by anyone who missed its original release. Making his best film since 1989's sex, lies, and videotape, director Steven Soderbergh pays tribute to the signature wit and intricacy of Elmore Leonard's novel, brilliantly adapted by Scott Frank, the gifted screenwriter who previously adapted Leonard's Get Shorty. The movie's a prime showcase for the talent and chemistry of George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, respectively playing a career bank robber who's escaped from jail and the federal agent who falls for his charms while tracking him down. Soderbergh directs with confident visual flair, shifting time- lines (ŕ la Pulp Fiction) to weave together subplots and maintain vivid focus on Leonard's splendid characters and smooth-as-silk dialogue. While the sexy repartée between Clooney and Lopez recalls the vintage interplay of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Ving Rhames and Steve Zahn add ample comic relief as Clooney's accomplices. Dennis Farina is memorable as Lopez's father, and Albert Brooks is almost unrecognizable as a Wall Street crook whose mansion--and a cache of uncut diamonds--provides the setting for the film's climactic caper. As orchestrated by Soderbergh, the film offers a feast of plot twists and surprises, but it never loses track of its delightful characters and the clever wit that brings them so vividly to life. The Collector's Edition DVD includes commentary by Soderbergh, deleted scenes, production notes, theatrical trailers, and more. --Jeff Shannon
