Just out on DVD- The Lookout
Not quite Fargo (similar genre) but not too bad. Worth renting. The kid from 3rd Rock and Jeff Daniels, playing a blind character, star. The kid I remember from 3rd Rock is very good- Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Re: Just out on DVD- The Lookout
I thought it was pretty good too. Gave it 4/5 on the Netflix scale.

Re: Just out on DVD- The Lookout
Wow, this movie sucked. The entire movie could be summarized in about ten words, and that's not a good thing. The biggest part of the movie (the main character's "problem") is barely even relevant to the rest of the story.
I'd give it a D, and that's generous.

Re: Just out on DVD- The Lookout
Did you like Fargo? I found it not as good(to me Fargo was A+) but it was worth seeing. Its tough to find good ones these days. Also it got an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes which is darn good for that site. So alot of people think it is good including me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Just out on DVD- The Lookout
There was something missing from it. It was a good movie but it was definitely not great. I suppose the end is pretty cool, you never really know how it's going to pan out til the very end, and it's relevant to the character's "problem". It's still a bit bland though.

Re: Just out on DVD- The Lookout
Well for movies, like music, I like all types. But I understand both movies I have mentioned are somewhat plodding. Regardless, I respect your opinion but I also challenge you to recommend a film that has been released on DVD in the last month or two (hopefully not a largely marketed one like The Shooter which was entertaining) but something with maybe just a few copies on the wall.
