"The Lookout" marks Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Scott Frank's ("Out of Sight"), directorial debut. The intelligent crime drama is centered around Chris (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt, "Mysterious Skin"), a once promising high school athlete whose
life is turned upside down following a tragic accident. As he tries to maintain
a normal life, he takes a job as a janitor at a bank where he ultimately finds
himself caught up in a planned heist. The film also stars Jeff Daniels ("The
Squid and the Whale"), Isla Fisher ("The Wedding Crashers"), Matthew Goode ("Match
Point") and Carla Gugino ("Night at the Museum").— More here |

 Oh, The Humanity of a Heist
Robert Wilonsky
Village Voice
Noir screenwriter makes strong directorial debut; Joseph Gordon-Levitt
awes again in character-driven theft thriller... Gordon-Levitt's
worth the admission all by his lonesome. He's that good - the proverbial
young man with an old soul who brings unexpected depth, complexity,
and sincerity to what could have been just another damaged-guy
role. He's the one to look out for.
First-time director Scott Frank pulls off an enjoyable thriller
thanks to his strong script.
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
An effective homage to the kind of small-scale thrillers we never
forget. We can't avoid knowing where The Lookout is headed, but
we are so deep inside its characters' heads that we wouldn't want
to go anywhere else.
Remind me -- are we robbing a bank?
Ruthe Stein
San Francisco Chronicle
Although filmmaker Scott Frank is unable to sustain the initial
intensity, he does a credible job of not signaling where the story
is heading and ramps up excitement with a number of unexpected
twists and turns.
