Full Plot Details

An admired high school hockey player with a bright future foolishly takes a drive in the night with his girlfriend and two other friends with his headlights off with devastating results. The former athlete is left with a brain injury that prevents him from remembering many things for extended periods of time. To compensate, he keeps notes in a small notebook to aid him in remembering what he is to do. He also lives with a blind friend who aids him. Obviously, with the mental incapacitation, he is unable to have meaningful work. Thus he works as a night cleaning man in a bank. It is there he comes under the scrutiny of a gang planning to rob the bank. The leader befriends him and gets him involved with a young woman who further reels him in. After they get close and after reeling him in with his own failures, the bank plan unfolds. Confused but wanting to escape his current existence, he initially goes along with the scheme. After realizing he is being used, he attempts to stop the robbery, which of course immediately goes awry.

Movie Reviews

Cinema Signals - 10/10 by Jules BrennerI haven't raved so much over a film's ability to stop my pulse, as this one did, since "Maria Full of Grace."
Portland Oregonian - 10/10 by M. E. RussellIf you enjoyed any of Frank's previous work, or thought "Brick" was the bomb, you'll love this.
CinemaBlend.com - 10/10 by Joshua TylerA brilliant, edge-of-your seat, completely engrossing thriller.
Cinema Crazed - 10/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Frank doesn't just set up clichés, he breaks them in two and spits in our face for buying into them...
Zertinet Movies - 10/10 by Steven SnyderWhat makes The Lookout such a surprise - and such a joy - is that it runs wild across multiple genres.
Can Magazine - 10/10 by Fred TopelYou've got to acknowledge Memento though... Perhaps this is more accurate about a real condition and its symptoms but it's still a mystery about unreliable memories, only here the protagonist uses them for good and not evil.
TheWorldJournal.com - 10/10 by Frank OchiengThe Lookout has its share of dramatic trickery and often strays into the gimmick boundaries. Nevertheless, Frank's nifty narrative is keenly smart, perceptive and edgy.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Cynthia FuchsJoseph Gordon-Levitt makes Chris' erratic efforts to look at himself honestly seem quite complicated, a series of steps both typical and original.
Reel Reviews - 9/10 by Frank WilkinsThe Lookout is a little difficult to classify, as it is an exciting thriller that involves an elaborate bank heist, but it is also a mesmerizing character drama piece that draws us in with interesting, complex characters.
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesIn an Oscar worthy performance, Gordon-Levitt makes his character a completely believable and genuine one who earns our sympathy without any guile or artifice.
