Out of Sight Adaptations

Directed by Stephen Soderbergh (Sex, Lies and Videotape), the 1998 film adaptation, also entitled Out of Sight, stars George Clooney as Jack Foley and Jennifer Lopez as Karen Sisco. Although it focuses on the star-crossed romance of Karen and Foley, the minor characters are finely developed, and its cinematography brings out the sleek moodiness and sophistication that enhance the story's own innate color. The film remains true to the novel except for the ending; in the novel the crime sequence that provides the climax is nihilistic, while the film ends with a warmer note.
