The Lookout

The Lookout marks Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Scott Frank’s (Out of Sight), directorial debut. This intelligent crime drama is centered around Chris Pratt, once a Golden Boy athletic hero in his small Midwestern town. Chris had it all – a beautiful girlfriend, a wellheeled family and a shining future. But after a serious accident, Chris has found himself in a strange new world where his memory is unreliable and nothing quite makes sense. Unable to make it on his own, he lives with his mentor in navigating this surreal life – the wisecracking, fiercely independent blind man, Lewis.

Things suddenly shift when he meets Gary Spargo, an old school acquaintance and street philosopher who begins to revive Chris’ shattered confidence, even helping him find a stripper – albeit a stripper named Luvlee Lemons. But Gary has bigger plans, and when he recruits Chris into his grand plan to rob the bank where he works. As the bank heist unravels into chaos, both Chris’ uncertain future and even more importantly Lewis’ survival are on the line. Now, it’s up to this young outcast who can’t always think straight to figure out how to outwit and take down his manipulators his own way.
