1988) Out Of Sight THRILLER

Cat and mouse heist film from the Elmore Leonard novel centering on a professional thief, Jack (George Clooney) and the cop whose on his tail Karen (Jennifer Lopez). All I can say is that upon watching this almost seemed like this role was intended for Mel Gibson, but went to George Clooney because Mel was shooting another film, the character in this film often fiddles with his lighter without using it. And since Mel was a frequent smoker like he did when he was in "The Year Of Living Dangerously" the George Clooney character doesn't do anything with the lighter at all, at least as far as I remembered it. The first of a six films George Clooney starred with director Steven Soderburgh.
