The Lookout

A brilliantly acted and written drama. The deliberately slower pace builds up nicely towards the end, and as a psychological whodunit, The Lookout is one of the best things to come along in a long time. (02/08/2007)

I hated Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in Killshot, but my feelings were completely different this time around. The story maintained a steady pace throughout, with no dull moments. Only the ending seemed to skip over logic a bit - if someone writes down everything important in a notebook and everyone knows about it, wouldn't just taking a look lead to some 'reasonable doubts,' right? However, I definitely don't plan on complaining because even after all these years, the film still seemed intriguing to me. It wasn't an action-packed frenzy, but I had a good time, sticking with my original rating. / Lesson learned: When nothing is expected of you, you can only surprise everyone. (01/05/2022)

Unusual picture about a hockey player who caused a car accident. The whole time the story unfolds at a very slow pace and nothing significant happens, until the last half an hour is "action-packed". Jeff Daniels stands out among the actors. (29/03/2008)
