Quotes from Reviews of "The
Lookout"
Other figures can command the screen without a line of dialogue to their name -- notably the robbers' fearsome leader Bone (Greg Dunham), whose stony silence is far scarier than the sneering bravado of his underlings. This is a man who knows the value of watching and waiting. When he acts, the results are gruesomely permanent... and neither actor nor director needs to embellish him to get the point across.
-Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
Frank manages to imbue nearly every character with a sense of reality way beyond their mere functions to the plot. The one exception to this is Bone (newcomer Greg Dunham), Spargo’s taciturn boss and leader of the gang, who is left to function solely as a menace. This, however, works because he is so menacing, and because it allows Chris to recognize that menace in a cleverly developed scene in which he plans how to turn the tables on the gang. It also works in a refreshing way that’s grounded in the film’s lack of clunky exposition; the viewer is never fed information unless that information is picked up by Chris or Lewis, and since Bone is strictly a menacing figure for them, his lack of character makes sense.

Greg Dunham, a shadowy Sam Shepard double, is evil personified as the black clad henchman Bone
-Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews
The most chilling portrayal comes from Greg Dunham as Bone, Gary's right hand man. He generates dread without saying a word
-James Berardinelli, Reelviews
And as Bone, Roy Orbison-lookalike Greg Dunham is fearsome in a detached kind of way.
-Randy Shulman, Washington Metro Weekly
"Scuzzball No. 2 . . . is Bone (Greg Dunham), a longhaired, trench-coated killer who looks like a Matrix character played by Sam Shepard.
-Matt Zeller Seitz, New York Times
Gary's got some criminal friends as well, including one awesome villain named Bone. This guy was an awesome movie villain. He always wore all black, sunglasses, and carried a shotgun. His presence reminded me of The Tall Man from the original Phantasm.
-Llephen, Aintitcoolnews
Greg Dunham, who I’ve never seen in anything ever, is a strong menacing presence as Gary’s main henchman Bone.
--Moriarty, Aintitcoolnews
There are a couple of surprises here, and nicely tuned ones at that, like one bit player being surprisingly competent at crunch time, and Gary's enforcer Bone backing up a dangerous air with truly dangerous actions. (Bone is played by Greg Dunham, a first-time actor making an indelible impression in a role with maybe four lines of dialogue -- Bone has a face like a fist headed right at you, hard.)

Gary wants Chris to be the titular lookout while his cronies, including the grim, terrifying Bone (played to fearsome perfection by newcomer Greg Dunham), ...

Daniels, carefully measured as Chris's blind roommate, stands out by virtue of sheer presence among a bevy of unrewarding supporting slots. These include Sergio Di Zeo as a local police deputy so inhumanly upbeat that dangling him in danger when time comes for the film to "get dark" is the equivalent of tossing an infant in front of a truck and calling it gravitas, and Greg Dunham as a sepulchral trenchcoat-and-shades killer wrenched from the study hall doodles of a socially maladjusted 14-year-old.
-Nick Pinkerton, Reverse Shot
Greg Dunham, who makes his feature film debut in The Lookout, plays Bone, the strongman. The evil that exudes from him, and the enigma that he is, raised the hair on my neck and gave me goose bumps. He doesn’t even speak a line until the last third of the movie, yet his presence is just plain bloodcurdling
-Kathy Bledsoe, Past the Popcorn
…and not to mention an eerie performance from newcomer Greg Dunham as the speechless and creepy Bone.
-ScreenHead
The thugs—who include the usual lunkhead (Morgan Kelly) and a very grim-looking shooter named Bone (Greg Dunham, channeling Lance Henricksen)—
-Cynthia Fuchs, PopMatters
The Lookout goes the opposite route – its characters aren’t ever likely to make any splash bigger than this town they live in, and most of the violence is implied in the face of the dark and inscrutable Bone (Greg Dunham), Spargo’s heavy man with the appropriately-skeletal features.
Nick, The Theory of Chaos
Side note: I love that Jeff Daniels is in this movie. Also, the guy who plays Bone (Greg Dunham) is kinda pretty menacing.
