It's best to think of this as a Pulp Fiction-lite clone, but a darn good clone.

Reviews for Out of Sight
Top CriticIt’s all the little asides, the little throwaways, the unexpected small things that make this a delightful encounter.

Faintly melancholy and alluringly fatalistic, this mercurial romance passing as a crime thriller is slyly entertaining and darkly sexy.
10/30/09
The audience was wrong -- Out Of Sight is wonderful.
10/30/09
Top CriticSoderbergh finds the perfect equilibrium between mainstream entertainment and arty panache, lacing this heist movie/romantic comedy with character-motivated time shifting, prominent freeze-frames, a funky soundtrack and an all-around hip vibe.
05/07/09
Steven Soderbergh's most ambitious and most accomplished work to date.
03/26/09
Top CriticFrom the first shot to the last, Mr. Clooney is in complete command of the screen in the assured manner of the biggest stars in the past, and he doesn't need a ton of special effects and digital enhancement to generate excitement.
04/27/07
An outstanding crime film from director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Frank, who adapted Elmore Leonard's novel.
05/26/06
A splendid reminder of just how assured, intelligent and involving Soderbergh's movies can be.
01/26/06
Un divertissement aussi «cool» et intelligent qu’un Ocean’s Eleven qui s’affiche sous un enrobage esthétique aussi solidement élaboré que celui de l’excellent The Limey.
09/22/05
Intelligent and intriguing.
04/09/05
Soderbergh and his longtime cinematographer Elliot Davis have given us an action film that looks as sleek and moody as Krzysztof Kieslowski's Red.
01/29/05
Out of Sight is best at electric scenes between its romantic leads. Clooney and Lopez have the kind of chemistry that classics are made of.
01/15/05
A surprisingly good film that won't stay out of viewers' minds.
06/23/04
...entertaining enough while you're watching it, but instantly forgettable.
08/01/03
It's amusing, entertaining and intriguing, even though the second half is shaky, as the film makes a seemingly uncomfortable transition into more serious material.
05/22/03
This one came out of left field and knocked my socks off.
05/14/03
The film owes a lot of its style to those produced by Quentin Tarantino, focusing heavily on characterization and quirky cinematography and not just pounding out a linear storyline.
02/08/03
A pleasurable and genial jewel-heist tale that itself is just shy of being a real gem.
