Reviews for The Lookout
Most noirs are coming of age stories where an innocent learns how vicious and cruel the world can be. Only he usually learns it while a hunk of hot lead burns in his gut.

Solid, if somewhat derivative filmmaking. A quiet thriller with some great performances.
01/02/08
The straightforward routine story has plot holes you can drive a tractor through and a screenplay that's too clean for the messy story it's spinning.
12/22/07
Engaging, smartly directed thriller with fantastic performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels, though the script commits a couple of glaring errors along the way.
11/03/07
The Lookout is a well made psychological thriller which only disappoints with its ending.
11/02/07
Full of memorable dialogue and sharp performances, it's let down only by its perfunctory climax.
11/02/07
It's a pity Frank is too busy laying on the wintry atmospherics to make the story grip as it should.

Top Critic Imagine going to see a film which you won’t remember by the time you are at the bar for a post cinema pint – that is The Lookout.
11/02/07
The film describes emotional and moral rehabilitation in the face of extreme danger.
11/02/07
Top Critic The Lookout drags itself into four star territory thanks to the startling turn from Gordon-Levitt – a name to, ahem, look out for.
11/02/07
An ingenious heist drama that views its familiar noir elements from an unexpected angle.
11/02/07
Retooling Memento with a hip young cast, Frank’s debut feature steeps its familiar elements in graveyard humour and indie cool. Plot quibbles aside, the result both grips and moves; it’ll be your lookout if you miss it...
11/01/07
It's a refreshing departure from formula and a thriller you won't easily forget.
