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

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.

It's best to think of this as a Pulp Fiction-lite clone, but a darn good clone.
04/02/05
Soderbergh and his longtime cinematographer Elliot Davis have given us an action film that looks as sleek and moody as Krzysztof Kieslowski's Red.

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.

...entertaining enough while you're watching it, but instantly forgettable.
08/01/03
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.
05/22/03
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.
02/08/03
A pleasurable and genial jewel-heist tale that itself is just shy of being a real gem.
01/10/03
Director Steven Soderbergh gleefully lobs curves right up to the end of this sly, sleek crime thriller.
10/15/02
This great cast, Soderbergh's dynamic direction and Leonard's signature style make this one raw, fun and smart caper.
