Day 64 : The Lookout



"I have the money, I have the power!"

This movie was great. When I first heard how this movie was about short term memory loss I was excited, then I watched the movie. This isn't about Anterograde Amnesia this doesn't even say that it is.

The movie starts with a prologue that involves four high school kids in a car crash. This is the steam of the movie. the leaf of this movie is what happens after it. Joesph Gorden-Levitt's character, Chris Pratt, has a condition which isn't short term memory loss, it is more a difficulty to make long term memories. Some things he will remember, like starting at the end of a story, some her wont, like names.

After a set of events he doesn't remember but we as the audience do, Chris is involved with a gang of sorts that will use him to rob a bank. they are allegedly from his high-school and admired him. It is not clear whether this is true or not, but Chris doesn't remember about them telling him that so for all he knows is that they were friends for years. This film is graciously written and directed. The worse thing is that this films score isn't grand enough.
