Review of The Lookout (2007) by Billys. — 30 Mar 2007
The Lookout is a great thriller very similar to Memento but it's much more involving because it's not played out in reverse and it moves forward with a smart character driven plot. The technical credits are all excellent especially the camera work of Alar Kivilo, but it's the cast that makes this one of those little gems you know nothing about and then thank the movie Gods that you saw it in a theatre.
Joesph Gordon Levitt is well on his way to be the next Johnny Depp. Starting out in t.v. then on to small intelligent independent features like Mysterious Skin and Brick, it won't be long before he's an A-list in demand actor, and rightfully so.
Jeff Daniels continues his resurgence after The Squid and the Whale with another well developed role as the blind roommate and Matthew Goode is unrecognizable from his upper-crust Matchpoint role. It's a shame that movies like The Lookout don't get the promotion they deserve because this is a great movie.
