Most noirs are coming of age stories where an innocent learns how vicious and cruel the world can be. Only he usually learns it while a hunk of hot lead burns in his gut.

Strong performances fill this terrific crime drama.

A perfect little movie about flawed characters.
01/21/08
Solid, if somewhat derivative filmmaking. A quiet thriller with some great performances.
01/02/08
The straightforward routine story has plot holes you can drive a tractor through and a screenplay that's too clean for the messy story it's spinning.
12/22/07
Certain scenes feel too glib and stagey, as though they've been doused with pop video gloss - particularly the snow, which surely had its own assistant, make-up artist and trailer.
12/07/07
Engaging, smartly directed thriller with fantastic performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels, though the script commits a couple of glaring errors along the way.
11/03/07
The Lookout is a well made psychological thriller which only disappoints with its ending.
11/02/07
Full of memorable dialogue and sharp performances, it's let down only by its perfunctory climax.
11/02/07
It's a pity Frank is too busy laying on the wintry atmospherics to make the story grip as it should.
11/02/07
A cracking armed-robbery thriller.

Imagine going to see a film which you won’t remember by the time you are at the bar for a post cinema pint – that is The Lookout.
