Director Steven Soderbergh says his 1998 film Out of Sight saved his career. After the success of his debut, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Soderbergh went through a drought and needed a hit. This week, we discuss the terrifically entertaining Out of Sight including its cast led by George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, screenwriter Scott Frank's adaptation of the original Elmore Leonard novel, and the movie's brilliant use of color, music and time shifting. We also note that even though Out of Sight wasn’t a box office smash, it set up Soderbergh and Clooney for the hugely popular Ocean’s trilogy a few years later.
