Out of Sight

(Universal)

This adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel put together by screenwriter Scott Frank and producer Barry Sonnenfeld benefits from the subversive touch of director Steven Soderbergh. Throw in a savvy, sexy turn by Jennifer Lopez as a federal marshal and a breakthrough performance by George Clooney as a veteran bank robber who takes her hostage and you have a classy, intelligent film that was just named Best Picture by the National Society of Film Critics.
