7 November 2007: Bristol Cinema: The Lookout
Brain damaged as a result of a terrible car crash former high school hockey stud Chris cleans floors at a local bank until a former pal offers an escape route. A sharply scripted neo-noir featured the star of Mysterious Skin and Brick.
'a haunting and hypnotic film that transcends pulp by creating characters that get under your skin.'
'a good example of how to transcend the usual trappings of the crime genre. Marking the directorial debut of Scott Frank -- who makes a solid first impression behind the camera after previously penning the adaptations of Elmore Leonard's "Get Shorty" and "Out of Sight," among other pics -- the film not only works because of a smart script, but also due to the characters, they way they've been formulated, and the ability of the performers to flesh them out with far more depth than one would have guessed for a film like this.'
'first-time helmer Frank is more than comfortable with genre conventions - so much so that, for the opening half of this witty, suspenseful thriller, he subordinates them completely to a coolly compelling character study. Outwardly calm and inwardly broiling, Brick star Gordon-Levitt is wholly fine as the troubled soul haunted by feelings of guilt and his fleeting recollections of the youth he was. Match Point actor Goode, meanwhile, is sensational as Gary, a charismatic asthmatic whose smooth insinuations suck Chris, and us, into the cut-throat world of small-time crime.'
'"The Lookout" has many quiet moments, giving us space to think about what's been said, and to realize that the screenplay has been carefully constructed so that nothing is irrelevant. There are no throwaway scenes or extraneous characters. Everything is part of the whole, contributing to the poignant melancholy and yearning that characterize the film. The more I think about it, the more I'm touched by it.'
'This is a minor-key gem, moulding the trappings of the heist flick genre for its own, much higher ends.'
