Out of Sight: Out of Sight: Elmore Leonard the Way It Should Be

Tue, 23 Aug 2005 22:11:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pat28 - Elmore Leonard's name might not quite have "household" status, like Stephen King or Jurassic Park scribe Michael Crichton, but he too has had a wealth of novels turned into popular movies. Get Shorty (1995) and its sequel Be Cool (2005) are probably the...

Out of Sight: "Out of Sight," At Its Essence, Is a Choice Fable on Choice

Sat, 4 Jan 2003 13:58:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmaslinisahack - According to "Out of Sight" director, Steven Soderbergh, there is an irony peculiar to the writing of Elmore Leonard (whom I have never read, and whose name means about as much to me as Thelonius Monk). Leonard is the one responsible for penning the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nikkisixx - The one thing I want to know is why is Jennifer Lopez so in demand? I mean sure, she has a grrrreeat backside and is easy on the eyes, but is she a solid actor? Does she perfectly fit each part she plays?

In this flick, she does not. I don't know...

Sun, 16 Sep 2001 15:16:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dancingpotato - Out Of Sight is one of those movies that generally catch on after its release on video. They usually get worthwhile, if not always sparkling reviews by critics and usually gets a gigantic following on video. At first I used to pass these over, staying...

Out of Sight: Sight to be Seen

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 16:39:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Goatius - Horribly overlooked upon its initial release in the summer of 1998, but managed to garner some recognition with year end awards, Steven Soderbergh's crime caper is easily one of the best films of that year. Based on the Elmore Leonard novel, the story...

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 06:43:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author NoniaBidnis - Well, it's 3:30 in the morning and no catchy title pops to mind. I have a list of movies and books I think I "should" write reviews of, and every time I think that, I hear my own internal groans of resistance, loud and clear. So, I have to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - This was a flick I picked out of the local library rack. I had never heard of it before and really did not expect much from it. It was excellent. Perhaps that is what comes with little expectation. I never even heard of it when it was released.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author petehammer - You ever hear those people that say "The 1950's/60's/70's were the golden age of filmmaking and today's movies are all crud"? And you try to argue with them but realize that the 90's released such films as Biodome and Patch Adams? Well, fear...

Out of Sight: Out of Sight on DVD

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 02:07:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alexmant - Out of Sight is kind of an enigma, in the fact that it was a film bearing some good star power, yet didn't collect in huge box office numbers, and that it's a movie many critics consider among the best of 1999, yet it's been overlooked by all the major...

Out of Sight: The Best Little Movie No One Ever Saw

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 15:16:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmbrat - Out Of Sight was the red-headed stepchild among the summer movies of 1998. First off, it was a tough movie to categorize: an action flick without much action (or at least in comparison to the big budget flicks), and a love story contained in violence...

Out of Sight: A Comedrama-love-action-story For All!

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 00:41:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darouedu - Is it a comedy? Is it action? A love story maybe? As with all Elmore Leonard novels-turn-movie (Get Shorty, Jackie Brown), Out of Sight is a little bit of everything. It is a comedrama-love-action-story. At its heart, though, it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedi8524 - It is very rare to watch a movie that touches the true heart of romance. Back in the old black and white days, it was common to see a flick starring Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart where the romance is constantly there even though the two main...

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 01:12:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Memento-Mori - Calling "Out of Sight" a love story belies its craftsmanship. Calling it a caper movie doesn't do justice to its characters. So what do we call it?

Well, for starters it's based on a book by Elmore Leonard and bears a certain...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rexhopper - “Out Of Sight”

The economy of set-up from the first scene of this film probably had the average viewer sitting on the edge of their seat. Unfortunately, the plot, acting, and direction of this piece goes predictably downhill from...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DAN_MOON - "Out of Sight" starts with a bang and ends with, well a smaller bang. The opening of the movie with Clooney robbing the bank is hilarious, one of the best openings for any film in recent years. The film starts to lose it's "magic"...
