Synopsis

Grosse Pointe Blank stars John Cusack as Martin Blank, a professional hitman who is having an increasingly hard time justifying his lucrative profession. But that’s the least of Martin’s problem. A fellow hitman name Grocer (Dan Aykroyd) is trying to kill him because Martin won’t join his union. If that wasn’t bad enough, Martin has just gotten an invitation to his 10th high school reunion! Martin’s reluctant shrink (Alan Arkin) convinces Martin to go to the reunion, mostly because the shrink is terrified of Martin and wants to get rid of him any way he can. Back at his old stomping ground after a 10-year absence, Martin has to confront his past, his family, and his ex-girlfriend Debi (Minnie Driver) who he dumped on Prom Night.

Blu-ray Review: Two With Cusack, GROSSE POINTE BLANK and HIGH FIDELITY Turn 15

By Twitchfilm.com on August 13, 2012
