Out
of Sight (1998)
When ex-con
Jack Foley (George Clooney) robs a bank, his car goes dead, and Foley
lands in a Florida prison. His escape from prison doesn't go as planned,
since it's witnessed by deputy federal marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez).
Foley's pal Buddy Bragg (Ving Rhames) intervenes, with the result that
Sisco winds up in the trunk of the getaway car with Foley, and the two
realize they're attracted to each other, despite being on opposite sides
of the law. However, that doesn't stop Sisco from her mission to capture
Foley, who has spent much of his life in prison. Flashbacks introduce
Foley's fellow prisoners, including dim dude Glenn Michaels (Steve Zahn),
violent Maurice "Snoopy" Miller (Don Cheadle), and insider trader
and billionaire Richard Ripley (Albert Brooks), who talks too much about
his wealth. This later leads to a break-in at Ripley's posh Detroit estate
by Miller, his brother-in-law Kenneth (Isaiah Washington), and menacing
White Boy Rob (Keith Loneker). While seeking a hidden safe, the group
threatens Ripley's housekeeper Midge (Nancy Allen). Foley and Bragg are
in on this operation, but they wind up outwitting the others, and Sisco
is close on their trail. |
