Out Of Sight

Fantastic on-screen chemistry and directing make…

06 December 2008

George Clooney’s acting is just one of the great aspects of this Elmore Leonard adaptation by screenplay writer Scott Frank. Steven Soderbergh directs Clooney as an escaped convict Jack Foley, jailed for bank robbery, and his co-star Jennifer Lopez as the cop who falls in love with him whilst tracking him down. I approached the film with trepidation on the discovery that Jennifer Lopez was Clooney’s co-star but was pleasantly surprised by her performance. There are numerous sub-plots which are incredibly well crafted due to the direction. The film provides comedy, action and romance, and has everything a good movie should. Time periods shift and change throughout, but you are never left confused as it seems to be with many complicated films, and this illustrates the intelligent writing and direction. The best thing about this movie is the intense chemistry between Clooney and Lopez.
