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. If facing a woman scorn, a dysfunctional family, and bad high school memories wasn’t enough to destroy Martin’s already fragile psyche, Grocer and two FBI agents have followed Martin back home and both have plans for him… —Beyondhollywood.com
witty dialogue, dark humor and a great soundtrack... one of those overlooked movies of the 90's
