Village Voice - Unnamed
Gordon-Levitt's worth the admission all by his lonesome. He's that good--the proverbial young man with an old soul who brings unexpected depth, complexity, and sincerity to what could have been just another damaged-guy role. He's the one to look out for.
88
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
The Lookout is Frank's show. He's crafted a haunting and hypnotic film that transcends pulp by creating characters that get under your skin.
80
Variety - Joe Leydon
A stealthy neo-noir drama that isn't afraid to take its time developing characters on the way to the payoff of a neatly designed caper scenario.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Frank's writing is razor-sharp, his filmmaking whistle-clean. As a fan of sharp razors and clean whistles, I enjoyed The Lookout--yet I did feel let down by the climax, which ought to have been blunter and messier and crazier and more cathartic.

L.A. Weekly - Ella Taylor
The Lookout is funny, tender and littered with elegantly written characters played by actors cast for goodness of fit rather than star wattage.
