The neurons become exhilarated in front of Out of reach [critique]

Steven Soderbergh's film with Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney returns this evening on Arte.

Gentleman burglar Jack Foley is rotting behind bars at the Glades State Penitentiary in Louisiana. This man who has more than a hundred unarmed heists to his credit only dreams of freedom and succeeds in making himself beautiful. His friend Byddy Bragg is waiting for him on the other side. But there is also an unexpected visitor, Marshal Karen Sisco, a very pretty woman who has come to issue a summons. She tries to intervene and finds herself taken hostage, locked in a car trunk with Jack. Pressed against her, Jack dreams of another encounter.

George Clooney's five best scenes

For Out of reachreleased in theaters in 1998, Steven Soderbergh takes on one of Hollywood cinema's most beloved novelists and screenwriters, Elmore Leonard (at the origin in particular of adaptations of 3h10 to Yuma, Jackie Brown Or Get Shorty), whose novel he adapts Out of Sight. As is often the case with Leonard, the film resonates with a spirit pulp uninhibited, notably thanks to its tandem of main actors, George Clooney And Jennifer Lopez. At the time, First was more than convinced: “The sequences mix, the flashbacks respond to each other, the outgoings have fun, the returns have fun, all this with remarkable clarity, a sense of allegro tempo, and the neurons which are exhilarated“.

Out of reach will be broadcast this Sunday at 8:50 p.m. on Arte.
