Out of Sight (1998)
5/10
OUT OF SIGHT (DIDIER BECU)
30 October 2003
An FBI-cop (Jennifer Lopez) who falls in love with a professional bankrobber (George Clooney) while he is making his way out of prison sounds pretty charming but once you see the movie you know it's just a lame excuse for director Soderbergh (Ocean's eleven) to film a romantic crimecomedy that must bring back memories to movies like Peckinpah's "The getaway". It's not a movie that bores but from the moment starts you know in whose arms Lopez will end and before the arrival, the director thinks it's necessary to tell the viewer some complicated tales (the movie has so many flashbacks that a box of aspirines is better on the table) and as said you can easily skip some minutes of the movie, you wouldn't have a miss a thing... Clooney plays in his (boring) Richard Gere-imitation (the charming grey owl) while Jennifer Lopez is a better actress than most people think, but all by all just an useless romantic vehicle that you forget the moment you turn the telly out.
