The Lookout (2007)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427470/
Interesting, different movie, about a man who has memory problems, after a terrible car accident.
This man ends up involved in a plot to rob the local bank.
The opening sequence, with night music and fireflies on stellar skies, sets the mood for something different, like a teen horror flick, but then the set changes to something close to Fargo – small town, simple people, icy roads, cold snowy days… and unexpected events.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the main role of Chris Pratt. He has sadness on his eyes and that might be the reason why he is/was a very good choice for his character. I also enjoyed Jeff Daniels as “Lewis”, the blind man! Matthew Goode is a convincing bad dude, as “Gary Spargo”. No other actor/actress has the chance to develop a credible character, but everyone does a very professional job, on the few minutes they get.
My rating: 6.5/10
