Clooney and Lopez at their hottest and most confident, Soderbergh flexing all his favorite muscles, criminals being brought down by their own overconfidence, ego, and lust, and a host of normal 1998 casting decisions that have aged like wine into "Holy shit, they're in this??" moments. What's not to love! One of the (if not definitely the) sexiest crime movies ever made. Love that Clooney spent 1998 to 2001 just playing the full range of confident criminal dorks getting out of prison.
Meet Jack Foley, a smooth criminal who bends the law and is determined to make one last heist. Karen Sisco is a federal marshal who chooses all the right moves … and all the wrong guys. Now they're willing to risk it all to find out if there's more between them than just the law.

I'm mad there aren't at least two more Jack Foley/Karen Sisco movies.
When they showed a Detroit montage upon entering Detroit, I excitedly and unironically pointed to something and said “oh, that’s from Detroiters.”
