Plots(1)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Chris Pratt, a young man whose life changes after a car accident. Though Chris survived, he's not the cocky high school athlete everyone remembers. Instead, a head injury leaves him with memory loss and the need to write everything down in a notebook. After leaving his late-night job as a bank janitor for the evening, Chris meets Gary (Matthew Goode) and Luvlee (Isla Fisher) at a neighborhood bar. Though they initially seem genuine, Gary reveals his intentions to rob the bank where Chris works. Eager for friendship and a return to the person he used to be, Chris is quickly in over his head.

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.

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.
