George Clooney. Jennifer Lopez. Steven Soderbergh. And one of the coolest, sexiest crime movies of the ’90s.
This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason and Scott revisit Out of Sight (1998), the Elmore Leonard adaptation that helped redefine George Clooney’s movie career and gave Jennifer Lopez one of her best roles. We talk about the incredible chemistry between Clooney and Lopez, Soderbergh’s effortlessly cool direction, the nonlinear storytelling, a ridiculously stacked supporting cast, and why this movie still feels so damn good nearly 30 years later.
Plus: that hotel bar scene, the trunk scene, Don Cheadle being terrifying, Steve Zahn being Steve Zahn, and the strange magic that happens when a crime movie is allowed to be funny, romantic, dangerous, and unbelievably cool all at once.
Was Out of Sight one of the sexiest movies of the ’90s? And why don’t they make movies that feel like this anymore?
