Also rented the movie an have been meaning to get the soundtrack, the David
Holmes instrumental one. As for the movie, the best character is the doped
out white dude, who's always wearing sunglasses, somthing Zahn one of the
great _American_ character actors.

The rumors are that someone heard "let's get killed", his last full-lenth,
and liked it so much they got him to do the soundtrack for "Out of Sight".
And, "let's get killed" is a great album, I can see why they wanted him to
do the soundtrack--it has a great 'remix' of the James Bond theme, and some
hilarous dialog in between the tracks. He is also rumored to have slugged
on of the Black Crowes.
