The Lookout

Un film atypique sur un joueur de hockey qui cause un accident de la route. Pendant tout le film, l’action s’écoule dans un tempo très lent et rien de substantiel ne se produit. Ce n’est que dans la dernière demi-heure que l'on a droit à un semblant d’action. Côté distribution, Jeff Daniels sort du lot. (29/03/2008)

A brilliantly acted and written drama. The deliberately slower pace builds up nicely towards the end, and as a psychological whodunit, The Lookout is one of the best things to come along in a long time. (02/08/2007)

I hated Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in Killshot, but my feelings were completely different this time around. The story maintained a steady pace throughout, with no dull moments. Only the ending seemed to skip over logic a bit - if someone writes down everything important in a notebook and everyone knows about it, wouldn't just taking a look lead to some 'reasonable doubts,' right? However, I definitely don't plan on complaining because even after all these years, the film still seemed intriguing to me. It wasn't an action-packed frenzy, but I had a good time, sticking with my original rating. / Lesson learned: When nothing is expected of you, you can only surprise everyone. (01/05/2022)
