"Reflecting on 'Out of Sight' 25 Years Later"
As "Out of Sight" celebrates its 25th anniversary, the film is remembered for breaking a losing streak for director Steven Soderbergh and giving George Clooney a boost up the movie star ladder. The film was part of a mini-bonanza of Elmore Leonard adaptations and featured a standout performance from Jennifer Lopez. Despite receiving ecstatic reviews, the film underperformed at the box office but proved to be the comeback vehicle Soderbergh needed. Its use of freeze frames and displaced dialogue would point the way toward the experimentation of his films to come.
