Out of Sight

Out of Sight is a movie about a romance between a bank robber and a U.S. marshal.

Out of Sight is a 1998 movie based on a novel by my favorite crime writer Elmore Leonard.

Liked the movie but liked the book better – too many dream sequences and distorted chronology.

The movie stars George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Can’t stand Clooney in real life – but one good-looking dude – and a good actor. Lopez not my cup of tea as a sex symbol – but pretty sexy in this movie – and a good actress.

Fine supporting cast – Ving Rhames – Dennis Farina – Steve Zahn – a bald Albert Brooks – Don Cheadle – Luis Guzman – Nancy Allen – and a sexy Catherine Keener.

Uncredited apprearances by Michael Keaton and Sam Jackson.

IMDB calls it like this: “A career bank robber breaks out of jail and shares a moment of mutual attraction with a U.S. marshal he kidnapped.”

Clooney is the bank robber and Lopez is the marshal.

and I approve this message.

Warner Books published Born to Be Wild in 1992 & it still sells every day at Amazon & Kindle. True story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.

The story takes 21 years to play out – with many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
