Through sexual tension, intriguing dialogue and well-defined characters, Out of Sight captivates the audiences and keeps them mesmerized.

Out of Sight follows Jack Foley (George Clooney) and Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) as their overwhelming sexual tension distracts them from their opposing life styles.

Clooney plays Jack Foley, a perpetual bank robber, who after his latest botched robbery finds himself in jail again. Escaping from prison, Foley finds himself face-to-face with the muzzle of Sisco's gun.

Foley and his partner are able to subdue Sisco, and she and Foley are locked together in the car trunk for the duration of the getaway.

Foley's partner is Buddy Bragg (Ving Rhames), his long time collaborator with a guilty conscience, which lands them both in jail after a phone call confession to his religious sister.

Sisco eventually escapes, although viewers are left wondering: Who wouldn't want to be locked in a trunk with George Clooney?

Now freed, Sisco joins the FBI team trailing Foley; however, in pursuit of his next mark, he finds himself tailing Sisco as well.

Released in 1998, this adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel relishes the same comic ease and dramatic timing seen in other Leonard adaptations like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown.

The stimulating flow of the movie blends the various genres it straddles.

Out of Sight intersects drama, comedy, crime and romance, giving even a finicky watcher something to enjoy.

Steven Soderbergh, the film's director, is able to blend these genres not through the actions of the characters, but through everyone's ability to lie, flirt and remain true to themselves.

While the story skips around a lot with flashback clips interrupting the movie's flow, it helps to move the story along rather than slow it down. The flash back shows the exposition of the events leading up to Foley's escape.

Seen in one entire chunk at the beginning of the movie, the audience would be restless before even getting to the good stuff. Soderbergh skillfully shows us just enough at just the right times to keep viewers informed and curious.

Leonard's well-rounded characters have identities that exist beyond their on-screen face time.

Steve Zahn plays bumbling crook Glenn, Foley's aggravating new accomplice. Zahn's diligent comic timing makes this character somewhat lovely despite his stupidity.

Glenn lands Foley and Bragg in a sticky situation when he attempts to go after the big score without them.

Joining up with other former incarcerated confidants, Zahn invites the crude world of violence, guns, rape and cursing into Foley's smooth and seductive criminal nature.

This movie poses an interesting question of whether you can do the right thing while in the middle of doing the wrong thing.

While it might be easy to classify this movie within a girl losing her head over a guy cliché, that isn't what happens. Lopez remains level-headed and concentrated on the task at hand. Her tough, cool, straightforward manner is never absent, even through a steamy bathtub fantasy.

The incredible chemistry between Lopez and Clooney is palpable. Their heat leaps off the screen making this movie incredibly sexy without much sex.

While Clooney and Lopez are mesmerizing, all of the characters capture your attention. The well-rounded individuality of each character creates the honesty necessary to make the story credible.

Whether you're laughing at Zahn's antics or panting after the lustful Clooney/Lopez combination, you'll find entertainment and intrigue in Out of Sight.
