The Lookout is a strange film at first. It stars Joseph Gordan-Levitt who was also in the great film Brick. He plays a Chris Pratt who gets brain damage after being in a car accident that killed some of his friends. He lives with a blind man named Lewis, played by the awesome Jeff Daniels, who wants to open a restraunt with him. Chris eventually meets Gary, who wants to rob the bank that Chris is the janitor for at night. It is a very slow film that creates some very interesting and complex characters.

You really have to pay attention in the film, because there isnt going to be a bank heist out of an action movie. The heist scene, which doesnt happen for a long time, is very old school and tense. I will not spoil anything, but I will say that this film was a big surprise for me and I enjoyed it alot. Fans of Brick and Fargo will like this one, similar dark humor and snowy midwest setting. Only downside was that the ending was a bit abrupt, but that did not spoil the movie too much.

Overall I give it an 8.5 out of 10.
