  1. [Soderbergh] plays with time and narrative to reveal character, mood and longing in ways you just don't find in a mainstream crime picture.
  2. 80
    What makes "Out of Sight" a grown-up treat is that the mixture of lust and longing is as flawlessly proportioned as the ingredients in a perfect cocktail.
  3. Much of the action seems more like warmed-over Quentin Tarantino than first-rate Steven Soderbergh.
  4. Out of Sight engaged me less and less, until by the end I no longer cared which of the characters lived or died. Not even the engaging Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, Albert Brooks, Don Cheadle, and Ving Rhames or the talented secondary cast can survive the abbreviations and last-minute shoehorning their characters receive.

  1. With a witty script, slickly-directed action set pieces, and a fine central performance, "Out Of Sight" competently elevates itself above the common crime-drama rabble. Expand
