Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Chris, a high school hockey player born to a wealthy family. He has a beautiful girlfriend and is daring. The opening scene sets the pace for the entire film, and we catch up with Chris some years later working in a bank. His roommate is Jeff Daniels (best performance since The Squid and the Whale) a blind man, and Chris works the janitor night shift at a bank. He makes some shady friends and develops a relationship with Isla Fisher (awful in Confessions of a Shopaholic, good as April in Definitely, Maybe).
The mystery of the plot is one of the reasons I loved this film and why my synopsys is vague and choppy, I don't know how to tell you about this film without telling you about it. If that makes any sense. Gordon-Levitt is excellent once again, I need to stop being surprised when he produces a good performance, I just can't get past his days as on 3rd Rock from the Sun.
This crime/thriller is an easy watch, has some really good performances, and is one of the overlooked films of 2007. Check this one out.
