This is a well done movie with Jennifer Lopez when she used to be hot, before she became a self-proclaimed diva. George Clooney is a smoothe character as usual and playing the bad guy you can't help but like. Although a lot of the dialogue feels like they're reading right off the script, it's a good plot and has some good roles, with actors that have come up since this movie was made.

It's really tough to distinguish the quality of the movie from the fact that the video is so blurred that it's like having double vision. What is Amazon thinking? Rent this on a real DVD so you don't give yourself a headache.

This is a great movie, period.

Steven Soderberg does a wonderful, and inventive adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. The characters feel real, but the funkiness of the character interaction of a Leonard novel is preserved too.

The real star of this show is the chemistry between Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney. Their "opposites attract" routine (started in the trunk of a car) matches Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers at their best (in movies like Top Hat) and creates a sense of empathy and urgency to the movie.

The supporting cast is excellent. Dennis Farina, Michael Keaton, Samuel Jackson, Ving Rhames, etc... Did I mention there is no bad acting in this film?

If you have not watched it before, enjoy and have fun. Old timers like me have already bought a copy for their "desert island" trip

I'll start with the pans. That Soderbergh nonlinear storytelling is annoying. If I thought jumbling the time line of the story would make a big difference, okay, but instead, I got a migraine.

George Clooney is a handsome face and big heads work on TV screens. You need the rest of the body at the megaplex. I couldn't help but notice that the fellow is kind of squatty when he walks. Bogart was short too, but I knew he was gonna explode on a punk for laughs. Clooney just delivers lines. His body is quiet.

Now for the good: Jennifer Lopez is flat out sexy and sultry in this role. I guess every female cop on TV is based on Jenn's late 90's tough chick wearing a mini with a badge. No, it makes no sense, but the guys don't mind.

Elmore Leonard's books transfer to the big screen fine. Ya can't beat a good Florida caper flick.

One of the better crime films of the last ten years. Out of Sight features George Clooney as theif and Jennifer Lopez as a U.S. Marshal out to get him. The movie revolves the relationship between the two.

Steven Soderbergh adds his touch and makes it an above average crime film. The supporting cast is also excellent, with good performances from Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, ALbert Brooks, and Steve Zahn.

The DVD includes a Sodeebergh commentary, deleted scenes, and trailers.

Highly recommended.

I just finished watching this again the other night. The extras are the same as on my standard DVD, but the video quality is 100% better on this HD DVD.

I should preface this by saying that I am by no means old, so I don't mean to come off as snotty when I describe this film. But this is a movie I would not have liked when I was younger and had less patience for a film. But as time goes by I seem to be able to better appreciate movies that take their time developing the relationships with the characters. This is a fairly slow moving tale, but I do not mean that as a negative. I very much enjoyed the leisurely pace and in the end appreciated how everything unfolded. This is an excellent movie for those of us with patience. Anyone else may be better suited with another title.

Mining the risqué wit and edgy, intricate plotting of Elmore Leonard's novel, this cool, stylish crime-caper romance by the director of "sex, lies, and videotape" is designed solely for one purpose: to entertain. Clooney, trying to escape bush-league fame on TV's "ER," projects all the bad-boy self-confidence and irresistible charm that would soon make him a screen idol. Lopez is tough but alluring too, a sultry match for Clooney's charismatic, calculating Jack Foley. Strong, quirky support from Catherine Keener, Luis Guzman, Ving Rhames, and especially Don Cheadle (as a psychotic inmate) keep things rolling. Don't let this funky heist flick "Out of Sight."

Out of Sight is one of my favorite Clooney flicks- George Clooney in an Elmore Leonard flick with the typical set of convoluted characters in both high and low places is a fun film. The Universal HD-DVD is gorgeous! The rich colors of Miami pop on my big screen tv at 1080i and remind me why I can't be bothered to spend $10 per ticket to go to a theater anymore!
I liked the fact that Universal doesn't clutter up the disk with any annoying intros that you can't fast forward through- Warner Brothers does that.

I first saw this movie in a cheap second-run theater in Columbus, Ohio, where nothing else I remotely wanted to see was playing. On the way in, I was highly skeptical about the combined talents of Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney.

On the way out, I was hailing Clooney as the new Cary Grant, and had a fresh appreciation for Lopez' charms. This sharp, clever film offers a host of pleasures--suspense, romance, and some witty dialogue. The story is not always told chronologically, but the narrative quirkiness adds to the movie's appeal.

After seeing Out of Sight, I started to seek out all of director Steven Soderbergh's movies, and have found almost all of them as consistently entertaining.

I saw this movie for umpteenth time just recently (my seventh, I think). George Clooney (Good Night, Good Luck,
O Brother, Where Art Thou?) is delicious in it, Jennifer Lopez (The Wedding Planner, Selena) proves her rising star power, and Steven Soderberg (The Good German, Ocean's Eleven) as a director manages to delight, as always. This movie never ages and the jokes never become old. I could watch it over and over and be entertained.

One of George Clooney's best movies! The chemistry between George and Jennifer Lopez is wonderful and the dialogue is crisp and clean. A lot of sexual tension between them and they pull it off wonderfully!

Oh, and the bathtub scene with George is not to be missed!

Great movie!!

Author Elmore "Dutch" Leonard has written over forty novels in about as many years, most of which have been turned into feature films. To my knowledge, only four of his crime thrillers have been turned into successful movies: 52 Pick-up, Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, and Out of Sight. Whatever the magic is that Mr. Leonard puts into each of his books, few directors are able to capture it on screen. The same thing can be said for the novels by Stephen King. Only a handful of well-made movies come to mind. When the magic is captured, it's a truly amazing experience to behold in the arena of movie making. Out of Sight, starring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, is one of these rare experiences where everything comes together perfectly. The director, Steven Soderbergh, and screenplay writer, Scott Frank, were able to stay true to Leonard's words, as well as being able to transfer the heart and soul of the story to the big screen. Though it seems like few people actually saw this film when it was released theatrically, this is the movie that I think made major stars out of Clooney and Lopez, not to mention boosting the careers of Don Cheadle and Steve Zahn and Ving Rhames. Out of Sight, like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown, is now considered a classic to fans of the "crime caper." This is a movie that you want to have in your film library.

Out of Sight deals with Jack Foley (played by Clooney), the country's most successful bank robber. When Jack escapes from a Florida correction's facility, he accidentally runs into Federal Marshal, Karen Sisco (played by Lopez), who's at the prison to serve some papers. Unable to leave her behind, Jack and his pal, Buddy (played by Rhames), toss her into the trunk of her own car. Jack climbs in behind her, and Buddy quickly drives the car away from the prison and to safety. It's during the trunk ride that Jack and Karen develop feelings for each other, each realizing the impossibility of the situation. After the getaway, Jack refuses to forget Karen and what the experience meant to him. This eventually leads Karen to Detroit, where she hopes to arrest Jack before he can pull off one last score. Of course, both of them have to call a time out in order to see if there's any real chemistry in their relationship and, boy, is there! Unfortunately, Jack has to go ahead with the final robbery and Karen will have to arrest him, if she gets the opportunity. No one ever said love would be easy.

Though George Clooney has done a number of extremely successful films since Out of Sight, I still consider this movie to be his best. He captured the charm and wit of Jack Foley to a tee and made you believe that a bank robber and a Federal Marshal could actually fall in love with each other. Jennifer Lopez was also at her best in this movie. She shined with beauty and intellect and determination as a Federal Marshal who's prepared to shoot the man she loves, if it comes down to that. Don Cheadle brought the character of Maurice (aka Snoopy) alive in such a way that you couldn't help but like him, even though he's the bad guy. That's a tough job to do for any actor. I will say that Steve Zahn came close to stealing every scene that he was in as the pot-smoking Glenn Michaels, making you laugh out loud at his realistic, yet funny behavior. The cast was simply perfect all the way around, bringing special nuances to their characters that made them stand out. There were even cameo appearances by Michael Keaton, reviving his role as Ray Nicolette, the ATF agent from the movie, Jackie Brown, plus Samuel L. Jackson in a short, but powerful scene at the end that brings a hopeful smile to your face. This is also the movie that established a partnership between Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney. They would go on to make several more hit movies together after this one. Out of Sight is definitely the type of film that you can watch over and over again. It'll make you laugh, while keeping you on the edge of your seat for the final showdown. I only wish that Hollywood could make more movies like this. The extras include a thirty-minute behind the scenes documentary, plus twenty minutes of deleted scenes and a movie commentary with its director and screenwriter.

My favourite Steven Soderbergh film, is treated to one of the BEST HD-DVD transfers I've seen so far.

Great Job, now back to watching the film.

I had never seen this film, but had read good reviews of it so I thought I'd give it a shot.

It was a very entertaining film, but that's secondary to the fact that the picture quality on this HD-DVD is ASTOUNDING. I wasn't expecting too much from a more obscure title like this, but the clarity and detail is top notch.

If you are looking for an entertaining "crook and police officer fall for eachother" type of film, and you've got an HD-DVD player, you can't go wrong with this title.

I found the movie did drag at a few points, which is why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. In terms of the quality of the presentation and the disc itself, I'd give it 5 stars across the board!

Clooney and Lopez sizzle. A movie about a down on his luck thief falling in love with the woman who is dedicated to returning him to behind bars is classic love conflict. Nothing spectacular about the film other than the actors. (Which is why the television series reprising Lopez'a role didn't work.) Overall, it's a chick flick, but there's a heist at the end that may engage the men. Highly, highly recommended.

Out of Sight is not Elmore Leonard's best book, but it is definitely the best movie based on one of his works. The movie, which mixes comedy, romance, and action, relaunched Steven Soderbergh's career.

The movie features a twisty, Pulp Fiction-esque narrative that showcases sudden, intense scenes of violence with some extremely funny dialogue. The story centers on Jack Foley--a career bank robber--who escapes from prison and runs into an attractive, smart Federal Marshal named Karen Sisco. Sisco must hunt down Foley, while fending off romantic feelings for him. Foley, meanwhile, tries to pull off one last retirement heist.

The story is pretty smart and is very surprising in the directions it goes. The cast is truly great--featuring one fine performance after another (George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, Albert Brooks, Steve Zahn, Catherine Keener, Luis Guzman, Dennis Farina, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, and Nancy Allen). I highly recommend this movie.

The DVD has some interesting features including an informative and entertaining audio commentary from Soderbergh and writer Scott Frank. The deleted scenes are more interesting than your usual run-of-the-mill deleted scenes. There is even an alternate version of one pivotal scene shot in one take. There is also a theatrical trailer--but not the good one I remember from theaters but some alternative version.

Steven Soderbergh knows his way around the bizarre, nearly impossible storylines and can translate them to film as few others can. OUT OF SIGHT is a little masterpiece of filmmaking despite the fact that when it initially screened in 1998 it seemed to slip by theatergoers' attention. Based on the inimitable Elmore Leonard novel the story begs indulgence in credible situations but shines in quality of script and characterization and an atmospheric cinematic capturing of a dark, film noir comedy drama that grabs you by the head and holds you glued to the screen for the duration.

The story is rather simple on the surface - a jailed bank robber escapes with the help of his buddy and plans a major hit only to encounter a federal agent in pursuit of the two who becomes the love interest portion of this strangely convoluted tail. Subplots and sidebars are sprinkled throughout Soderbergh's telling of Leonard's story, serving to keep our minds alert and mesmerized by the plot development.

The cast is absolutely first rate with George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez and Ving Rhames especially pungent in roles that seem written for them. The strong supporting cast includes such fine actors as Steve Zahn, Catherine Keener, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman , Isaiah Washington, Dennis Farina, and Albert Brooks. And for those who enjoy powerful sexual chemistry Clooney and Lopez offer some of their finest collaborative acting. This is a fine movie and one that doubtless in time will be considered and under appreciated Film Classic. Grady Harp, July 06

This movie was another great Clooney movie - I'll never tire of him playing sexy, witty criminals. I'm not a fan of Jennifer Lopez, but I'll be the first to admit that she put on a stunning performance in this movie.

The movie is about a romance that is highly unlikely in real life, but the point of movies is to escape from real life and watch some interesting situations that may never actually happen. In this case, it met the goals. It was above par in some aspects - there was a lot of witty dialogue used, where other movies would just use curse words. I liked that.

This is a must see for all Clooney fans.

This movie was a gift for my wife. She enjoys performances by both George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. The movie portrayed both actors well, had a decent script, and relied on content and performance instead of sex and foul language to achieve the viewer's appreciation of the video.

If you want an entertaining movie with some action, some romance and some Clooney and are willing to suspend belief, then this is for you.

Clooney was great as a thief with a conscience, always one step ahead of everyone else. The movie started off strong, meandered a bit then ended almost predictably. There were a few places where there were flashbacks, and sometimes I was confused as to what happened when. I also didn't get why Karen (Jennifer Lopez) would get involved wtih Jack (Clooney) so quickly, and risk losing her job and reputation - compared to what she did at the end. The clumsy thief at the end was a bit unbelievable too.

The movie did keep to a moderate pace, but it could have been shorter. My favorite part was the elevator scene. A few more of those types of situations would have made this movie a lot better.

somehow i just cannot tire of this movie. soderbergh's style is just right here, not as gimmicky as ocean's eleven and not as waste-of-time as ocean's twelve. it's witty and the pace is really nice, character's develop but are still charicatures, endearingly, and then it's over.

Jennifer Lopez breathes a whole lot of life into Elmore Leonard's powerful DA Karen Sisco. Worth noting off the top of things is that J.lo's character in this movie was not meant to be a Latina.

Nevertheless, the movie gives is plenty of great shots of J.lo's lower half, usually dressed in one heck of a power suit.

Although the Elmore Novel book was the source material, and the movie stays relatively true to it's origins, the ending was changed a bit and we are treated to a much more intense version of the relationship between the two main characters, played by George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez.

Clooney had just established his "bad ass" credentials with "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" and does a tremendous role as the lovable scumbag in this movie, having us follow along in his misadventures as he is sent to prison for bank robbing, escapes with his Cuban inmate buddies, then spends the rest of his time trying to evade the law AND plan that last great final heist at the same time.

Meanwhile, Karen Sisco is going cross country trying to take this guy down, but is also having to face up to the fact that criminal losers are her type of man.

The movie thus follows the route of our anti-heroes from Florida in December to a wintery Detroit, where a heist, hook up and final climactic confrontation all occur.

This movie features spectacular performances by character actors Ving Rhames (Clooney's sidekick), Don Cheadle (Clooney's rival), and (surprisingly) strong performances by Jennifer Lopez (this is her best role ever) and of course, George Clooney (who is at his sleazeball charming best).

The movie follows the plot of the book incredibly well, save for the ending. Also worth noting was that J.lo's character from this movie proved so likeable, that a TV show based on the character was created.

SO, if you like Elmore Leonard, Jennifer Lopez or think that Clooney is best when he's breaking the law, this is your type of popcorn fare.

This is a great film that preceded the onset of the "JLo." "Out of Sight" is a great showcase for Jennifer Lopez's talent as an actress. It is a shame that she hasn't been presented with more great roles, like that of Karen Sisco, in this film. Karen is a D.A, who carries a rifle and a jaded attitude. She has a chance encounter with charming, compulsive bank robber Jack Foley (George Clooney). Their encounter is made especially intriguing because it takes place following his would-be kidnapping of Sisco in her OWN car. It is no surprise that sparks fly.....however, this doesn't downplay the complexities of their star-crossed encounter.

Some of the greatest strong points of this film include the juxtaposition of flashbacks, incorporating trick camera work and voice overs. What's more, this film was shot in a very bare bones style. We don't get a sense of romance, so much as a feeling of stark reality. The colors are dark, the dialogue between the characters is honest, real and simply wonderful. This film has a potential for mass appeal, due to the fact that, though it does get gritty and violent, that doesn't downplay its intelligence or originality. Violence is counterbalanced by genuinely funny scenes, as well as more introspective glimpses at how the characters turned out as they did. This is definitely a great date film!!!

I was really surprised by this movie. When it first came out, I didn't know what it was or what it was about. I first saw it on television about three years later, so I decided to rent it. When the credits began to roll, I wanted to watch it again because it was so good. The movie was well acted, well written, and well directed. Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney had real chemistry. Scott Frank is one of my favorite screenwriters, and this movie proves it. The cameos of Micheal Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson only spice up the flavor of this well-crafted film. A must for any movie fan.

This was one of the best movies of 1998, but for whatever reason did not attract a large audience. When I try to think of superlatives to desribe it, the one that keeps coming to mind is "cool."

Most of the coolness factor is owed to two things: Steven Soderbergh's steady directing and the chemistry between the actors, especially George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Back before we knew that Clooney would go on to channel the same character in virtually all of his roles, he defined suave in this movie. And back before she was J.Lo, Lopez was that IN LIVING COLOR fly girl with the big ole butt trying to make a name for herself as a film actress. Here she gives the best performance of her career.

While all of the cast (Ving Rhames, Dennis Farina, Albert Brooks and Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson in cameos) is solid, after Clooney and Lopez the real star is Don Cheadle. He is quite convincing as the prison boxer Snoopy. He oozes rage and steals every scene that he's in.

Plots based on books by Elmore Leonard tend to be above average, but are mostly dependent upon the colorful characters he writes. Thanks to the talent of all involved, this movie is one of the best.

I had wanted to see this film for a long time , having heard about both of the stars , but never having seen them act .
I was not disappointed .

I still laugh when I think of the character played by Steve Zahn who isn't too bright . But then again , pretty much everyone makes a mistake in this film as their better judgment disappears . The actors all display perfect comic timing and that is a rare thing .

The film has tight direction , a fast pace and for a comedy almost seems believable .

The ending is clever , too .

If you enjoy it , don't forget the films GET SHORTY and JACKIE BROWN , as they are based on books by the same author , Elmore Leonard .
OUT OF SIGHT is just that !

A slightly banal action film or thriller that does not thrill you too much though. More pathetic than fascinating. A little crook that falls in love and vice versa with the female cop who is after him or manages to be after him. Quite trite. That happens everyday and all the time. It's nearly more interesting to see how this small crook and his crooked black accomplice get nearly fooled and trapped by some other small crooks who are just a little bit more authoritarian if not authoritative, since they don't even check if the man whose house they plan to burglarise is home or not. Our small crook is turning good and manages to get the crooks who tried to fool him down in the clap or directly into some graveyard. But no luck, boy, the cop is a cop and she arrests you just the same with no brownie points. Funny at the most but not explosively hilarious, far from it.

Out of Sight is an amazing movie, and one which never fails to please those I loan it to and tell them to watch it as a movie on a date early in a relationship. There is eye candy for the ladies in the form of a still young and exceptionally suave George Clooney, and for the men in an especially beautiful Jennifer Lopez (before she was REALLY and absurdly famous), featuring a truly great skirt shedding shot from behind(we all know why it's great). There is romance and action, and it all falls at just the right moment.

But even more notable is the film's ability to continuously entertain and the well directed, written, and scored aspects of it. A young Steven Soderbergh gives the viewer an appropriately shot film featuring little of his later hand held camera angles, but enough to make it work. He employs some of the same color associations here as he used so successfully later in his career on "Traffic." The flashbacks to the prison are harshly lit, the Miami area is gaudy and bright, and detroit is grungy and slate-blue, except when it is snowing, which is when some of the most softly lit and inspired scenes in the movie occur. I dare anyone to watch the scene where unfocused huge snowflakes fall behind Clooney and Lopez in the hotel bar and not believe that maybe their crazy relationship might work. But much of that is owed to the undeniable chemistry between the two. The scenes in which they interact are very softly lit, and this adds much sensuality to them, a tensed sense of something about to happen, and when it does, the audience is not let down.

The writing lends plausibility to an unlikely story, and the ending helps immensely in preventing the audience from sighing with frustration at the unbelievability of it all, with some memorable smaller performances from Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, and Steve Zahn, most notably, but all the scenes are well acted and a certain amount of love went into each one. The score, a funky and smooth keyboard and bass affair, with some Isley Brothers classics thrown in for good measure, are the perfect accompaniment to the films visuals.

All in all, "Out of Sight" is a well acted, believably casted, well-defined film with some nice surprises and great characters. It might seem mediocre at first, but with repeated viewings, it WILL grow on you. I've yet to meet someone resistant to its charms. Watch it on a date, with someone who has never seen it before. They'll love, it and so will you. It hasn't failed yet.

This film was tame compared to some 'rom-coms' I've seen. It was good to waste a couple of hours watching, when you're alone in a flat, and the person in the flat above you keeps making strange noises, and scaring the beejeezus out of you!

I quite like Jennifer Lopez, and loved her in Maid In Manhattan, but I just don't see the appeal in George Clooney, or why women seem to swoon over him constantly. Where is this guy sexy?! I've seen loads better, and he's not going grey . . . yet!!!

The only good thing about this movie, was the scene early on with George & Jennifer in the boot (trunk if you're american) of the car. It was a very highly charged scene, and there was loads of chemistry. I can imagine there would be some chemistry when you're squashed up together like that!

I loved Steve Zahn in this - he plays such a funny character, and in my opinion he should have been given more screen time. Or they should have given him the main role!!!

Who blinked & completely missed (or didn't realise who it was) Samuel L. Jackson at the end? I don't think I was concentrating by that point, but that was quite cool! And he did the cameo free of charge - for all the time it took to film.

Plus, there's quite a few flashbacks, which come & go in the film without warning, and gets really annoying! I never had a clue what was going on!

This film isn't really worth the hassle of watching. It's not that great. And the finale kinda ends without properly finishing. What's the point?

The acting in this movie is supurb, even down to the small and quirky role of Michaal Keaton as the "FBI" agent (you will laugh if you can picture that scene with him wearing that t-shirt...).
I mean this movie has a character named "White Boy Bob" for christola sake! The Miami hotel elevetor scene is worth the price of admission alone... Not to mention J-Lo actually acts quit well in this film, not sure if this was her debut on film, but one of the first for sure.
One of my all time favorite movies, period.

"First time being held-up?"

People often wonder why I buy movies. Sometimes, it's an impulse thing, especially at Blockbuster, where it's economically feasible if you're going to watch the thing more than once (those darn MBAs). But mostly, it's when I'm struck by something special. In this film, it's the chemistry between Clooney and Lopez, which is something you just don't see very often in movies.

Clooney gets to be his charming, smirky self (which is now basically reprised in every one of his movies, with varying ratios of smirk to scowl) and Lopez simply smoulders as a tough cop (especially in the impractical, improbable leather outfit in the later half of the movie). Add some fine performances by Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, Stephen Zahn and Dennis Farina, and you've got an exceptionally smooth crime film with great dialogue.

Soderbergh certainly doesn't need my critical approval to get people to watch his movies, but I think this is one of his best. A great balance of music, humor, quirkiness (courtesy of Elmore Leonard), and the awkward moments of people trying to make a connection, make this a perfect movie for those nights when you're not certain what you want to see. Consequently, it also makes it a good movie to just have around the house.

Clever dialogue and witty banter make "Out of Sight" an enjoyable film loaded with many twists and meaningful turns. Characters played smart kept my attention, though I was confused about who was Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend. How apropos? George Clooney is too good looking to survive in prison and come out looking so fresh. Many familiar faces, not all in the credits offer more fun. No surprise Clooney and Lopez find a lot to talk about and the time for conversation in the end.

Steven Soderbergh's smoothly-adapted cinematic take on Elmore Leonard's novel of the same name has George Clooney (in one of his finest performances) as Jack Foley, a bank robber who keeps ending up upstate due to a good deal of bad luck. Jennifer Lopez is Karen Sisco, a beautiful but very dangerous Federal marshall who ends up in Foley's trunk during a prison getaway and eventually ends up falling for the escaped prisoner she has been assigned to bring back in. Foley and his partner-in-crime, Buddy (Ving Rhames) are planning one last score though. They're planning to swipe some uncut diamonds from a former cellmate who has them hidden in his winter home in Detriot. They aren't the only ones in on the caper though as Don Cheadle's thuggish Maurice "Snoopy" Miller has also managed to bully his way into the picture. "Out Of Sight" works real well, mostly in part to thanks to Scott Frank's very well-done adaption of Leonard's novel. The very entertaining performances from the ensemble cast don't hurt things either. Even J-Lo who is generally more of a "movie star" than an "actress" brings a lot to the table. Also look for Michael Keaton in a brief cameo, reprising his role as Ray Nicolette from "Jackie Brown".

i absolutely loved the film!
The chemistry between jlo and George was awesome!
i absolutely loved the hypnotic tune playing softly when clooney and lopez where in the detroit bar and again when she cuffed him and the police came.
could, if possible anyone send me the notes (piano) of the tune played during the bar scene and at the end when she shoots him. i would be very grateful! Thank you!
