The Lookout

Very sharp character study / crime drama that’s the directorial debut of writer Scott Frank.  A young man - a former golden boy - who’s suffered brain damage in an auto accident has a job as janitor in a bank, and is manipulated into assisting in a robbery.  Lots of good performances, good writing, scary and believable low-lifes.

What I learned from this film

More anecdotal evidence that bank robbery just doesn’t attract the best class of criminals.
