Acclaimed screenwriter Scott Frank (”Minority Report”) makes a mind-blowing directorial debut in “The Lookout,” a gritty, high-tension crime thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (TV’s “Third Rock From The Sun,” “Brick”), Jeff Daniels (”The Squid And The Whale”) and Isla Fisher (”Wedding Crashers”). Chris “Slapshot” Pratt (Gordon-Levitt), whose once-bright future has been dimmed by a head injury, is a night janitor at a bank. Lonely and frustrated, Chris falls prey to a con man’s seductive promise of romance and a better life, and agrees to help rob the bank where he works.
