Newsweek
Lucky for us there are no ordinary circumstances in this smart, tasty adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel and it gets quirkier, funnier and sexier as it goes. - 100
Washington Post
In some ways Soderbergh does a much better job than Tarantino. He handles the time shifts more adroitly, always keeping us on track; he goes easy on the violence, and when he does unleash it, it's short, fast and ugly. - 90
The A.V. Club
Works both as a great romance and a great, unconventional crime thriller. But step back from such distinctions, and it just looks like a great movie. - 90
Slate
Soderbergh contrives the perfect voice for Leonard's prose--laid-back and grooving when it needs to be, but also taut, with the eerie foreboding of violence about to erupt. - 88

Everything in Out of Sight is smart -- the dialogue, the characters, and the storyline. - 80

Soderbergh appreciates the value of having fun with a so-so script, turning its cliches into fresh experiences and infusing energy into the margins of a predictable story. - 70
