Out of Sight
Steven Soderbergh’s crime caper comedy has a snappy script, color-saturated cinematography, and a delightfully twisting plot. It also stands out for its iconic casting of two ’90s heartthrobs: Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney. The pair’s simmering sensuality is unmissable as US Marshal Karen Sisco (Lopez) and petty criminal Jack Foley (Clooney). When Karen gets caught up in Jack’s jailbreak, the manhunt that ensues takes on a romantic tone that neither of the pair can resist.
