Check out this great movie before it leaves Amazon Prime Video next week (May 2025)
Few directors went on a more impressive run through the late 1990s and early 2000s than Steven Soderbergh. In addition to winning the Oscar for Best Director and helming Ocean's Eleven, Soderbergh made several smaller movies that have stood the test of time. The greatest example is 1998's Out of Sight, a charming thriller starring George Clooney as a bank robber who finds himself in a hugely flirtatious relationship with Jennifer Lopez's Karen Sisco, a federal marshal looking to arrest him. Here are three reasons Out of Sight still hits more than 25 years later. Recommended Videos Lopez and Clooney have remarkable chemistry Although Out of Sight has elements of a great action movie, it is first and foremost a love story that heavily relies on the chemistry between Clooney and Lopez. Thankfully, both actors are more than up to the task. Clooney is playing exactly the kind of character you'd expect — a charming, slightly sleazy guy who is smarter than he lets on. Meanwhile, Lopez plays Sisco tough, but she's charmed by Clooney's thief long before she's willing to admit that to herself. Every scene they share is electric, the kind of onscreen chemistry that almost leaves the viewer tingling as they watch it. The supporting cast is excellent Although Clooney and Lopez deserve a lot of credit for the work they do here, Soderbergh assembled an incredible supporting cast to surround them. We've got Ving Rhames in his prime, a frazzled Steve Zahn, as well as Dennis Farina, Albert Brooks, and, maybe most importantly, Don Cheadle. On top of feeling like a cast filled with people who you might see on the street, the chemistry between every member of the cast is exceptional. Out of Sight was not the kind of movie that was destined to top the box office, but it's filled with recognizable faces anyway. Soderbergh knows exactly what he's doing In the past decade, Soderbergh has spent most of his time experimenting with different kinds of storytelling, and more power to him. In the 1990s and 2000s, though, there was no one more capable of combining action, comedy, and romance to deliver something utterly satisfying. That's exactly what he does with Out of Sight, a movie that is not about anything particularly complicated or emotional. Nevertheless, it's such an utterly satisfying movie and one that knows exactly how to achieve a perfect tonal balance. After watching, you feel like it's a masterpiece. You can watch Out of Sight on Amazon Prime Video.

Jennifer Lopez and Child Emme Step Out in Coordinating Looks to Support Her 'Out Of Sight' Costar George Clooney on Broadway
Jennifer Lopez and her teen, Emme Maribel Muñiz, 17, certainly had a good night on Broadway. The two sported sleek coordinating black tie looks with a vintage velvet flair at the Broadway debut of George Clooney, whom Lopez, 55, once costarred with in Steven Soderbergh's 1998 film, Out Of Sight. Lopez recently attended the Broadway revival of Shakespeare's Othello, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington, with Emme, and referred to them as "the best date" in an Instagram post. The This Is Me... Now: A Love Story star has a close bond with Emme. In 2020, Lopez told PEOPLE, "It's unconditional love. I know everybody feels this way about their kids, but I just feel like they're super special. I can't wait to see what they do.' Lopez and her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, welcomed Emme and their twin brother Max in 2008. Clooney, 63, is starring in Good Night, and Good Luck, a stage adaptation of the 2005 film of the same name. Clooney helped adapt the script for the stage and stars in the leading role. The play recounts the legendary moment when CBS News journalist Edward R. Murrow uncovered Senator Joseph McCarthy's corruption.

Clooney was partly inspired to take on the role by his father Nick Clooney's work as a journalist. 'It seemed like a good time to remind ourselves how important journalism is to all of us and what a terrible state the country would be in without the Fourth Estate," Clooney told Vulture. "Also, I think it's a nice time to remind ourselves of us at our best—when we stood up to power and people did something very brave and unselfish.'

He previously starred in 1986's Vicious in Los Angeles, and later at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater. Vicious followed the life story of Sid Vicious of the British punk band the Sex Pistols. This role famously earned the actor his first agent and on-camera role. Tickets for Good Night, and Good Luck are now on sale. The play runs through June 8. Read the original article on People
