A brain-damaged young man who works as a janitor at a bank is recruited to help with a robbery. Gordon-Levitt, the kid from "3rd Rock from the Sun," is all grown up and gives an affecting performance as a one-time high school star who has to live with the scars of an act of youthful indiscretion that has left him struggling to make simple decisions. Goode is equally good as the fellow masterminding the heist. Daniels is funny as Gordon-Levitt's blind roommate. Frank, the writer of "Get Shorty" and "Minority Report," wrote the script and makes an impressive directorial debut. The story is entertaining if implausible and not particularly memorable.
