The Lookout (2007)
The Lookout (2007) 8/10
This is one of the best films of the year. The opening sequence itself is awesome. It has easily the best opening scene this year (together with 28 Weeks Later). And it has a trump card in Joseph Gordon Levitt, a leading man who can actually act. Levitt has the kind of incredible on-screen magnetism that can pull you in, and he has the talents to be the Brad Pitt of the next generation.
The film itself is wonderfully directed, a kind of stylish modern day film noir mixed with hints of Christopher Nolan’s Memento. It is a fun and enjoyable film, with a notable supporting performance by Jeff Daniels. In short, i love this film.
