3.5/4 |
Faintly melancholy and alluringly fatalistic, this mercurial romance passing as a crime thriller is slyly entertaining and darkly sexy. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
The audience was wrong -- Out Of Sight is wonderful. Full Review |

|
91/100 |
Soderbergh 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. Full Review |

Steven Soderbergh's most ambitious and most accomplished work to date. Full Review |
||
|
|
From 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. Full Review |

|
4/4 |
An outstanding crime film from director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Frank, who adapted Elmore Leonard's novel. Full Review |
||
|

A splendid reminder of just how assured, intelligent and involving Soderbergh's movies can be. Full Review |

|
8/10 |
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. Full Review |

Intelligent and intriguing. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
It's best to think of this as a Pulp Fiction-lite clone, but a darn good clone. Full Review |
||
|
A- |
Soderbergh and his longtime cinematographer Elliot Davis have given us an action film that looks as sleek and moody as Krzysztof Kieslowski's Red. Full Review |

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. Full Review |
||
|
7/10 |
A surprisingly good film that won't stay out of viewers' minds. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
...entertaining enough while you're watching it, but instantly forgettable. Full Review |
||
|
B |
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. Full Review |
||
|
4/4 |
This one came out of left field and knocked my socks off. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
B |
A pleasurable and genial jewel-heist tale that itself is just shy of being a real gem. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
George Clooney has finally made a GOOD movie. Full Review |
