Forgettable fun.

The Lookout's thriller elements could stand to be more surprising, but they're ultimately in service of a better understanding of the characters. Usually, it's the other way around.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten
There's nothing here you haven't seen before, and even the pleasant hum of a well-tuned engine begins to drone a little.
David Fear, Time Out New York

A straight-ahead drama, perfectly accessible though psychologically intricate, coupled shrewdly to a crime thriller.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
