Synopsis
A former high-school hockey star handicapped in a tragic car accident becomes an unlikely ally to a crack team of determined bank robbers in this thriller starring Jeff Daniels and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. When his promising career on the ice is suddenly cut short, former athlete Chris Pratt (Gordon-Levitt) goes to work as a janitor in a local bank. Cleaning floors soon gives way to criminal enterprise when the onetime puck-slinger is recruited to help clean out the very bank that employs him. Screenwriter Scott Frank (Out of Sight and Minority Report) makes his directorial debut, working from his own original screenplay. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Great crime thriller. Gordon-Levitt gives a riveting performance. Highly recommended. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: It is hard to rob a bank if you keep forgetting that is what you are doing, Oct 22 2007 By  Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews    Imitation is the supposedly the sincerest form of flattery but it seldom makes for a decent movie when Hollywood tries to capitalize on a successful film. "Pulp Fiction" jumbled the chronological order of its scenes and other films followed suit, with no where either the notoriety or the success. A film that succeeds ends up losing points for being imitative, which is what happened with "Babel," a film that might have been nominated for an Oscar if, as David Spade would say, we had not seen it the year before when it was called "Crash." The point of these extended prologue is that while I was watching "The Lookout" I was reminded of "Memento," and while this 2007 film is neither as good nor as memorable, writer-director Scott Frank has come up with one of the more intelligent screenplays I have seen in a while, compelling me to round up on this film. This is Frank's first time as a director, having previously written the screenplays for Get Shorty," "Minority Report, and several other films adapted from novels. With "The Lookout," he proves he can be pretty original. "The Lookout" begins with Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a star high school hockey player in Kansas (really), who decides to impress a girl by driving down a country road with his headlights off at night so she can enjoy the beautiful fireflies. Of course this is a bad idea and four years later Chris has short-term memory issues because of the traumatic brain injury he received that fateful night. Chris has to use a notebook to keep his life ordered and is desperate to lead a normal life. He lives with Lewis (Jeff Daniels), who is older and blind, and the unlikely pair apparently fill gaps in each other's life. One night at a bar Chris is about to get ripped off by a bartender when he is rescued by Gary (Matthew Goode), who also introduces Chris to an ex-stripper named Luvlee Lemons (Isla Fisher). Apparently they remember Chris was his golden days and seem willing to treat him like he is still the guy who was broken the night of the accident. However, while Chris takes them at their word, we cannot, and our suspicions are confirmed when Gary recruits Chris to rob a bank. Not just any bank, of course, but the one where Chris works as a janitor. By this point in the film Gary is pushing all of the right buttons, and Chris agrees. The last act of the film consists of the bank robbery and its aftermath, and having set up the rules of Chris's life and the way his mind works (his major problem is with sequencing), Frank has also set up the payoff for his film. The results are not brilliant, but they are also not predictable, which is why "The Lookout" is the most memorable film I have seen so far this month. The moment where I decided that I really liked this movie comes during the robbery, where Frank avoids the commonplace of the local cop who does not know how to do his job. I am so sick and tired of movies and television shows where the plot is advanced only by the blatant stupidity of a character. Things get pretty bad in "The Lookout," but the cop in question helps more than he hurts. More importantly, when Chris remembers what his limitations are, he knows how to use them. Frank also gets credit for assembling this cast on the strength of the script he had written. I checked out this film because it had Jeff Daniels in it, but Gordon-Levitt provides the performance you remember from this one. Again, this is not a great film (except for the opening scene Frank's strength here is clearly as a writer rather than as a director), but the fact it is pretty good makes it stand out and actually got me to recommend it to others more directly than by posting a review.

(Report this)   "And I thought I was good lookin'!", Dec 29 2007 By  Kona (Emerald City) - See all my reviews    Four years ago, Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) was a fun-loving high school jock who took one too many chances behind the wheel and ended up with a severe brain injury. Now, he lives with his blind roommate Lewis (Jeff Daniels), goes to rehab classes, and works as a bank custodian at night. He's lonely, and is happy when a ne'er-do-well ( Matthew Goode) befriends him, but before he knows it, Chris is involved in a bank heist. Gordon-Levitt is such an interesting young actor. He makes small indy movies (like "Brick" and "Mysterious Skin") that are invariably well-made and memorable character studies. He has the maturity and charisma to pull off a sensitive performance, displaying a wide range of emotions with just the pained expression in his eyes. Jeff Daniels gives an understated performance as the sadder-but-wiser friend, and Matthew Goode is convincing as the lowlife creep who leads Chris astray. Writer-director Scott Frank has created a bleak, moody film reminiscent of "Fargo," with frozen snowscapes and gritty characters, although the soft-ball ending disappointed me. Recommended for those looking for something different, a quiet movie about dealing with adversity and making foolish choices. Was this review helpful to you?
