I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I liked the opening scene with Jack Foley's (George Clooney) clever bank heist. I wonder if anyone ever tried something like that? But Adele Delisi (Catherine Keener) was right, Jack should have used a car that had a reliable starter. For a smart crook, that was a pretty dumb move.Hard to believe this picture was made twenty years ago as I write this. Clooney and Jennifer Lopez make for an engaging couple, their brief fling in the story set up a momentous final confrontation that provided a not so subtle twist to the outcome. Good support is turned in by Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle and Dennis Farina, with an unnecessary cameo by Michael Keaton that really went nowhere. Although I did like the way Samuel L. Jackson showed up in the closing scene to ride off into the sunset and back to Glades with Jack.Anyone else notice - Clooney's character had the same name as pro wrestler Cactus Jack Foley. He just didn't look as scruffy.

I honestly would've watched the whole movie if it wasn't so long within 2 hours! It would've been better if it was an hour and 30 minutes because I honestly got bored of it so quick, that I just had to switch to another movie. I mean, yeah Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney are the hot couple in this but, they needed more than just spice. I didn't think the storyline was gonna save them really, I just didn't feel anything here. I'm really disappointed with this movie and the fact it had great stars in it, seriously it's not that good!That's why im giving this a 4/10....

(54%) A clear Elmore Leonard based story with it's characters leaning both between crime and law enforcement, and sometimes even both. This has a little more than a connection with "Jackie Brown", with Michael Keaton reprising his role which is something that doesn't happen very often in movies made by different people. This though isn't nowhere near as good as "Jackie Brown", the characters aren't as well crafted, it doesn't have the depth, and the plot in general is not as good or well told. With that said it is an easier film to get into on the first watch, and it is likely to be Jennifer Lopez's best staring role of her acting career. This is worth a look, but it isn't a modern-day classic that many claim.

Jack Foley (George Clooney) is a lifelong smooth operator bank robber. He escapes from prison with the help of Buddy Bragg (Ving Rhames) and grabs US Marshall Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) on the way out. She talks her way out by convincing weak minded Glenn Michaels (Steve Zahn). Foley is after some diamonds, and Sisco is put on their case. Only she might be falling for him.Director Steven Soderbergh has narrow the focus. This is simply one hot sexual innuendo after another between Clooney and Lopez. It does get slow and J Lo does get too cool at times. But it's a slow cool burn that heats up the whole movie. Clooney is a perfect sly fox. The game play between the two leads absolutely sings.
