This week marks the 25thanniversary of the sexiest crime movie ever. Here's why the GeorgeClooney and JenniferLopez thriller, OutofSight, still holds up.
Every now and then, the stars really do align. Most of history’s greatest movies have been great in spite of the circumstances in which they were made and the issues they faced behind the scenes. Others have been born out of nothing but chaos and sheer luck. However, occasionally a movie comes along that is the product of a perfectly timed meeting of minds — a film that works because it’d almost be impossible for it not to. 1998’s Out of Sight is one of those movies.
Yes, it’s a crime thriller, but it’s also an underrated romantic comedy At the center of Out of Sight are Jack Foley , a lifelong bank robber, and Karen Sisco , a law-abiding U.S. Marshal. Early in the film, which adopts a non-linear format that — unlike many other late ‘90s crime movies — doesn’t feel like a poor Quentin Tarantino rip-off, Jack and Karen end up trapped in a cramped car trunk that forces them to become a little better acquainted.
Out of Sight is one of the sexiest movies of all time All in all, Out of Sight is the kind of mainstream cinematic cocktail that feels increasingly rare nowadays. During a time when it feels like most blockbusters are sanitized to the point of sterility, Out of Sight is a lesson in what can happen when a Hollywood film isn’t afraid to be sexy and romantic.
