Review of The Lookout (2007) by Justin M — 21 May 2009
Gordon-Levitt's second foray into neo-noir in as many years doesn't score as huge as Brick, but it's still a very well-acted and efficient crime drama. Scott Frank, the man responsible for scripting just about every good Elmore Leonard adaptation out there, knows his way around the genre, and his directorial debut pulses with real danger and suspense.
The story could be a bit more well-developed, but Frank keeps things simple and the result is satisfying, if predictable. Worth a look.
