The intelligent crime drama is centered around Chris (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mysterious Skin), a once promising high school athlete whose life is turned upside down following a tragic accident.

The film also stars Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale), Isla Fisher (The Wedding Crashers), Matthew Goode (Match Point) and Carla Gugino (Night at the Museum).

MOVIE REVIEW

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in The Lookout, a crime drama that combines elements of Memento with the bank heist genre. While not perfect, the movie properly blends character drama with suspense to create a compelling story about a mentally damaged young man who is seeking to find his place in the world - and some cash.
