Description of Out of Sight [HD DVD]:
Out of Sight scored critical raves, but its title sums up the theatrical fate of Steven Soderbergh's coolly comic crime caper and misfit romance based on Elmore Leonard's novel. But this is the sort of buried treasure home video was created to rescue.

George Clooney comes into his own as a leading man in the role of inveterate bank robber Jack Foley. Incarcerated, he uses another inmate's prison break as a cover for his own escape. Waiting for him, according to plan, is his partner, Buddy (Ving Rhames). Also waiting for him, not according to plan, is federal agent Karen Sisco (the ravishing Jennifer Lopez). She finds herself disarmed in more ways than one when she is deposited in the getaway car's trunk with Jack. But that doesn't stop her from joining the task force created to capture him, while he plans "one last heist."

Out of Sight is a rich, entertaining film, stylish without being showy, faithful to the integrity of Leonard's potent dialogue and quirky characters, and seamlessly acted by a dream ensemble. Standouts include Albert Brooks as convicted insider trader Richard Ripley, who while in prison brags to the wrong people that he has $5 million in uncut diamonds hidden in his house; Don Cheadle as Maurice (don't call him "Snoopy") Miller, with whom Jack warily teams up to steal said diamonds; Dennis Farina as Karen's protective father (his idea of a birthday gift is a Sig-Hauer .38); and, in unbilled cameos, Michael Keaton, reprising his Jackie Brown role as FBI agent Ray Nicolet, and Samuel L. Jackson.

If you liked Get Shorty and Jackie Brown, you'll find this, well, Out of Sight. --Donald Liebenson

Out of Sight [HD DVD] Reviews:
Clooney, Lopez & Soderburgh are Out of Sight!!
2008-07-09 - This neglected film noir by Elmore Leonard and excellently directed by Steven Soderburgh with a fine script by Scott Frank still didn't quite make it at the box office despite great reviews. Some breakout performances by Clooney and Lopez plus their chemistry and a great cast (Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks, Ving Rhames) make this one a winner. Clooney plays an escaped thief who while escaping from the pen, falls in love with government agent Lopez. Their characters provide the heat but the rest of the supporting cast provide the color. It's been reported that Lopez & Clooney didn't get along while filming this but you wouldn't know this from their scenes together!! The HD DVD transfer of this neglected film noir is excellent and also a bargain at a price under $10.00!! So if you still have an HD unit and haven't abandoned it do get this one. It is definitely OUT OF SIGHT!!

Great Caper Flick
2008-06-03 - What great fun this movie is. If you like humor mixed in with your dramas you appreciate this. The chemistry between characters is wonderful.

A really good movie
2008-02-08 - This is a well done movie with Jennifer Lopez when she used to be hot, before she became a self-proclaimed diva. George Clooney is a smoothe character as usual and playing the bad guy you can't help but like. Although a lot of the dialogue feels like they're reading right off the script, it's a good plot and has some good roles, with actors that have come up since this movie was made.

Video trouble
2008-02-03 - It's really tough to distinguish the quality of the movie from the fact that the video is so blurred that it's like having double vision. What is Amazon thinking? Rent this on a real DVD so you don't give yourself a headache.

Where have all the great couples gone?
2007-11-24 - This is a great movie, period.

Steven Soderberg does a wonderful, and inventive adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. The characters feel real, but the funkiness of the character interaction of a Leonard novel is preserved too.

The real star of this show is the chemistry between Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney. Their "opposites attract" routine (started in the trunk of a car) matches Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers at their best (in movies like Top Hat) and creates a sense of empathy and urgency to the movie.

The supporting cast is excellent. Dennis Farina, Michael Keaton, Samuel Jackson, Ving Rhames, etc... Did I mention there is no bad acting in this film?

If you have not watched it before, enjoy and have fun. Old timers like me have already bought a copy for their "desert island" trip
