"The Lookout" is brilliant! The cast led by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (in a career-making role as Chris Pratt), Jeff Daniels (terrific as Lewis) & Matthew Goode (excellent and unrecognizable as Gary Spargo) is excellent! The story and screenplay and directing by Scott Frank (his directorial debut, he also wrote the screenplay to "Minority Report" (2002) is brilliant! The music by James Newton Howard (who also did the music to "Michael Clayton" (2007) & the upcoming "The Dark Knight" (2008) is excellent! The cinematography by Alar Kivilo (who also did the cinematography to "The Lake House" (2006) is excellent! The film editing by Jill Savitt (who also did the film editing to "Secret Window" (2004) is excellent! The casting by Marcia Ross (who also did the casting to "Enchated" (2007) is excellent! The production design by David Brisbin (who also did the production design to the upcoming "Passengers" (2008) is excellent! The art direction by Dennis Davenport (who also did the art direction to "Hairspray" (2007) is excellent! The set decoration by Stephen Arndt is excellent! The costume design by Abram Waterhouse (who also did the costume design to the first season of "Dexter" (2006) is excellent! This is an interesting and smart suspense-thriller that will keep you thinking and wanting more, for some reason, or another. But still, a well-made film, that is one of the best films of the year. |
