Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Frank has cooked up an interesting moral dilemma for a character ill-equipped to deal with one. Chris has made one big mistake. Is he up for another?

fresh:
The Lookout's thriller elements could stand to be more surprising, but they're ultimately in service of a better understanding of the characters. Usually, it's the other way around.

rotten:
There's nothing here you haven't seen before, and even the pleasant hum of a well-tuned engine begins to drone a little.

fresh:
A straight-ahead drama, perfectly accessible though psychologically intricate, coupled shrewdly to a crime thriller.
