I've been trying to think of the name of a movie comics writer Ed Brubaker raved about in an issue of either his
Criminal series or his
Incognito miniseries, a contemporary noir from 2007 that Brubaker reckoned was one of the best films he'd seen in recent years. Of course, typically I couldn't be arsed to dig through my comic boxes to find the relevant issue, but I was sorting through and throwing out old magazines at the weekend, and I came across a review I'd torn out of
Sight & Sound... and I think this is the film:

So I've bought the DVD on eBay for the princely sum of £4.16 (which is about 50p cheaper than Amazon). It's directed by Scott Frank, who wrote or co-wrote various rather good films, including
Get Shorty,
Out of Sight and
Minority Report.
The Lookout is also written by him, and it's his directorial debut. We'll see if it's any cop when it turns up. Can't be any worse than
Ripley Under Ground...
