Box office flop - By: Brendan O. Clarke, 16 Nov 2007 
George Clooney finallly gets a decent movie role in Out of Sight, yet another successful adaptation of Elmore Leonard (author of the source novels for Get Shorty & Jackie Brown). Instead of playing yet another comic book character as he did in From Dusk Till Dawn & Batman & Robin (and let's not forget the immortal Return of the Killer Tomatoes!), Clooney here plays one of those smalll-time criminals who is savvy enough to reach behind & grab the arm of someone with a gun while he is sitting in a bathtub with his eyes closed but is still incompetent enough to botch a bank robbery by flooding the engine of his car. The joys of this film include a wide array of mostly streetwise characters, refreshingly smart dialog, & a certain chemistry between Clooney & Jennifer Lopez, who discuss cinema & other topics while locked in the trunk of a car. The director is Steven Soderbergh, who cashes in on the promise he showed a decade ago with his legendary debut, Sex, Lies, & Videotape. Wholeheartedly recommended.
Foreplay - By: Miss Patel, 26 Jul 2007 
The movie isn't that different from any other heist movie, its got robberies, killings & the leading lady. The only difference with this one is that there is real on screen chemistry between Clooney & Lopez which keeps the story line juicy, & makes you want to watch it.
I have watched this movie a number of times, & I still enjoy watching it. Up until the point where the two characters sleep together, is like foreplay. They continue to tease each other & consider what it would have been like if they had met under different circumstances.
A must watch movie, & a great one to have in your collection.
OK Plot, Good Performances - By: Jay, 23 May 2007 What reallly made this cool though was the fractured chemistry between Lopez & Clooney. They were a good on-screen duo. What made it good was the he was an escaped con, while she was a U.S. Marshalll, I guess the forbidden relationship made it cool. The acting was good, I think George Clooney is a good actor, but I don't care for Jennifer Lopez movies, though she did a good job in this & Selena.
There was also the way the cities were shot, how Lompoc was a yellow shade, Miami was a reddish shade, & Detroit was in blue, I thought that was cool, much like in Traffic. So in conclusion, the acting was good, the plot was o-kay, the setting was good, & the chemistry between the characters was excellent.
yup - By: Mr. J. Binks, 20 May 2006 I bought it, thinking that it was going to be good. & it was. which was nice
A cop and a crook are no Romeo and Juliet - By: Jacques COULARDEAU, 27 May 2005 
A slightly banal action film or thriller that does not thrill you too much though. More pathetic than fascinating. A little crook that fallls in love & vice versa with the female cop who is after him or manages to be after him. Quite trite. That happens everyday & alll the time. It's nearly more interesting to see how this smalll crook & his crooked black accomplice get nearly fooled & trapped by some other smalll crooks who are just a little bit more authoritarian if not authoritative, since they don't even check if the man whose house they plan to burglarise is home or not. Our smalll crook is turning good & manages to get the crooks who tried to fool him down in the clap or directly into some graveyard. But no luck, boy, the cop is a cop & she arrests you just the same with no brownie points. Funny at the most but not explosively hilarious, far from it.
