A 1998 crime drama/romance film based on the Elmore Leonard novel of the same name, starring George Clooney as Jack Foley, a gentleman bank robber, and Jennifer Lopez as Karen Sisco, the US Marshal tasked with apprehending him. Due to an impromptu hostage situation, Foley and Sisco find themselves locked in the trunk of a car together, where they quickly form a connection. Albert Brooks is Richard Ripley, a rich businessman and former fellow inmate of Foley's, with a stash of diamonds that Foley wants to steal. Don Cheadle plays Maurice "Snoopy" Miller, another former fellow inmate, a complete psychopath also looking to steal the diamonds.Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Out of Sight is considered a highlight of Lopez's career, and it helped salvage Clooney's movie career after the Batman & Robin disaster.Karen Sisco, a sequel series starring Carla Gugino in the title role, ran for a single season on ABC in 2003. | |

Gentleman Thief | |
| Out of Sight / int_20d965e | comment |
Gentleman Thief: Jack Foley and to a lesser extent Buddy. Foley-who robs banks for easily-insured cash and without a gun-is contrasted with both Snoopy who coldly kills his robbery victims, and Morally Bankrupt Banker Ripley who stole more money and ruined more lives than Foley ever could (with Foley the most prolific bank robber in the FBI database!). | |

In Medias Res: The movie starts off with a Cold Open of Foley getting thrown out of a business office and then coldly crossing the street to rob a bank. The rest of the movie mixes current time with flashbacks up to the point where we see why Foley got tossed out of that office. | |

Never Going Back to Prison: Foley has this attitude, and when Karen has him caught at Ripley's mansion he tries to do a Suicide by Cop and get her to kill him. She gets around this by shooting him in the leg... and then setting it up so Foley can team up afterwards with escape artist Hejira. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Jack is caught and is getting transported back to Glades prison in Florida, likely for the rest of his life. Karen has to be the one to take him back, and while it's clear she still has feeling for him, they both know they can never share another "time out." Except for Karen having Jack share a ride with Hejira, an expert at prison escapes, hinting that she knows Jack will team up with Hejira to break out of Glades. And with Buddy out there with the stolen, easy-to-market uncut diamonds... | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Certainly not the violent climax, but earlier in the movie a messy multiple murder is suggested with only a few oblique shots (and Glenn's twitchy, shell-shocked reaction afterwards). | |

| Out of Sight / int_4da6ac | comment |
Rated M for Manly: Has a cast line-up - not just the guys like Clooney, Rhames, Farina, GUZMAN! and Cheadle but also the ladies like Lopez and Nancy Allen - that makes Rated M movies on a regular basis, involves a heist, and relies on a Elmore Leonard novel to provide cool dialogue and cooler anti-heroes. It's also a surprisingly great date movie thanks to the romantic chemistry between Jack and Karen. | |

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: Karen suffers at her job. Her male co-workers and superiors keep dismissing or questioning her work, the crooks she handles as a Marshal are sexist: This despite her being hyper-competent, smarter than nearly every other character, and able to handle herself in a fight. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
| Out of Sight / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: Jack and his crew are gray. They're criminals, but they have a sense of morality. Snoopy and his gang are black. They're murderers and rapists. Ultimately, Jack and Snoopy become at odds with each other. Even Karen gets in on the Grey, being an otherwise decent cop who's engaged in an extramarital affair with a married ATD/FBI agent and later ends up in a romance with a criminal she's charged with arresting. Gets even dodgier in the film version where she implicitly aids the escape of said criminal from prison. | |

The Missus and the Ex | |
| Out of Sight / int_add9abb3 | comment |
The Missus and the Ex: Played with when Karen goes to interview Foley's ex-wife Adele for clues, as Karen technically isn't in a relationship with Foley (yet). The novel has it that Adele figures out right away that Foley flirted with Karen while locked up in that car trunk, and starts giving Karen tips about Foley's social tics rather than the next heist he's got planned. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Out of Sight / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: While he's a career bank robber, Jack is one of the more morally upright and polite characters in the story. Karen is ultimately honor-bound to bring him to justice, but he's still a "good guy" for ultimately going against his self-interest to oppose the evil Snoopy. | |

Shout-Out: In the car trunk, Foley and Karen argue about movie romances, especially the one in Three Days of the Condor, where the kidnapped woman falls in love a little too quickly with her hostage-taker. Meanwhile, they're doing it to themselves... | |

Knight, Knave, and Squire | |
| Out of Sight / int_c85c6d21 | comment |
Knight, Knave, and Squire: Jack Foley is the knight (he is an idealistic Gentleman Thief - he knowingly jeopardizes his chance at freedom to stop one of his fellow robbers from raping to a woman); Buddy is the knave (he is an experienced and realistic thief); Glenn is the squire (he is an unexperienced thief). | |

Genre Throwback | |
| Out of Sight / int_d139ffaf | comment |
Genre Throwback: Much of the movie is meant to evoke old caper movies and romance movies. Examples include: The Motown tune ("It's Your Thing") that plays over the opening credits. The Art Deco hotels and apartment buildings of Miami. The enormous old car that Buddy and Jack drive when they're in Miami. The chiaroscuro lighting in the hotel bar scene. The Hepburn/Tracy, Bogart/Bacall dynamic between Jack and Karen. During their ride in the car trunk, Jack and Karen talk about old movies featuring characters like them: Bonnie and Clyde and Three Days of the Condor. The Dean Martin song "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?" is playing on the stereo at Karen's father's house. | |

Race Lift | |
| Out of Sight / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: Buddy, and to an extent Karen. Buddy, in the novel, is white and described as a redneck-in the movie he's Ving Rhames. Karen's description in the novel has her as blonde, though it doesn't mention any distinct ethnicity. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Out of Sight / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Leonard got the idea of Karen Sisco as a character when he once saw a picture of a blonde Marshal holding a shotgun in the newspaper. And the Glades prison break during a Super Bowl weekend is based on a Real Life escape prisoners made from Glades during a football playoff night (they figured - rightly - the guards and police would be distracted by the game). | |

Freudian Trio: Jack Foley is the Ego (he is the leader and has to reconcile Buddy and Glenn); Buddy is the Superego (he regularly reminds Jack about what he should do to be safe); Glenn is the Id (he is a stoner and he follows his desires). | |
