He just kidnaps her with his pal Buddy (Ving Rhames). In the trunk of the getaway car they get closer to each other. Last but not least she can escape. She has to do her job and has to get him. But they just can´t forget each other...
"Out of sight" is another adaptation of a novel by Elmore Leonard, the author of "Get Shorty". It´s not easy describe to which genre it belongs. "Action", "drama", "comedy" - everybody says something different. In my eyes it´s a romantic thriller with irony and decent action. Clooney and Lopez - wow! I could really feel the sparks between them - especially in the scene in the bar with the falling snow in the background. Sigh...
By the way, it was genius that Scott Frank, the author of the script, decided to tell some parts of the story in flashbacks. It´s the best way to keep the audience paying attention. Speaking of flashbacks - during the whole movie, I had the feeling, that this film was made in the 70´s and was buried out in 1998. It´s the mood, the music, the zooms of the camera that carries you back into another time. That´s amazing!
"Out of sight" is another cult-flick from director Steven Soderbergh. Smart, twisted and romantic!
