Quick Takes: Out of Sight was very good, largely due to the
screen chemistry between the leads, the supporting cast, and
Soderbergh's sense of visual rhythm. I can't think of too many
movies which flowed that well, moving exactly at the necessary
speed and even stopping dead at completely appropriate moments. I
really didn't see it as striving for much beyond being a damn
good character driven heist movie, but in that it succeeded. One
thing I did really like was the overwhelming sense of how dumb
these people really were. The scenes where Nancy Allen tells them
the safe combination just to stop them from sending more bullets
ricocheting around the room, and where White Boy gets distracted
in his search for the diamonds by the task of bring a few dozen
pounds of choice sirloin out to the car were priceless.
