"Chris Pratt, a night janitor who, in the wake of a traumatic car accident, suffers from a leaky memory and an unreliable sense of self that makes even everyday situations challenging . . . and changes everything when he finds himself swept up in a bold, multimillion dollar bank heist.”Movie type: Drama - It's a serious drama that takes its time setting up the story. Things don't really begin to happen until the last hour or so. It has some pretty strong content.

Reviews:
”Above Average The Lookout is an effective little thriller that almost works from taut beginning to unspectacular end. The premise is interesting and the story is developed in such a way that the viewer is engaged throughout. “Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Very Good As Frank spins a web of intrigue and deceit, the movie is sometimes deliberately paced, then intensifies at unlikely moments, artfully blending pulse-stopping, nerve-jangling suspense with sharp dialogue and nuanced portrayals.” USA Today
”Good The result is a smart, engrossing thriller in which you care as much about the characters as the crime.” TV Guide Online
”Excellent 'The Lookout' practically levitates with crafty dialogue and shrewd character touches,...” Newsday
