The Lookout

Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is on a joyride with his girlfriend and friends, trying to catch fireflies on a dark country road. But what catches him is the jaw of death in the form of a stationary trailer. Death unfortunately only nips him, so he goes from being the local jock with a promising life, to a washed up broken man recovering from a brain injury, working as a janitor at a bank. Hardly able to hold a thought, he lives with the blind Lewis (Jeff Daniels) who helps him get through his day. This is when Gary Spargo (Matthew Goode) befriends him and talks him into helping with a bank robbery. Needless to say, rest of the film was very predictable.
