Steven Soderbergh s “Out of Sight” is a crime movie less interested in crime than in how people talk, flirt, lie and get themselves into trouble. Based on an Elmore Leonard novel, it relishes Leonard s deep comic ease; the characters mosey through scenes existing primarily to savor the dialogue.
The story involves a bank robber named Foley (George Clooney)and a federal marshal named Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) who grow attracted to each other while they re locked in a car trunk. Life goes on, and in the nature of things, it s her job to arrest him. But several things might happen first.
