Review of The Lookout (2007) by Rebecca S — 15 May 2010
"Yours is the most important job of all, you're the lookout".
An excellent story that unfolds following a serious road accident where Chris Pratt suffers serious head injuries that lead to memory loss. He tries to regiment his day through notes in a notebook.
Singled out to help in a bank robbery at the bank where he is the cleaner, he turns tables on the would-be exploiters.
Scott Frank uses interesting camera angles and sharp editing coupled with atmospheric music to underscore the drama of the piece. Coupled with rich characterisation and strong performances from Jeff Daniels (as Chris's blind flatmate) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Chris make this one of the best movies of 2007.
