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. 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

Yes I concur with Threske, Minnie Driver and John's chemistry is lovely to watch. John for me always hold some kind of magic and charisma that no actor can, it's the way he speaks and the attitude and body language he portrays that really gets me.

A rare gem of a "mainstream" cinema that through some strange alchemy radiates a kind of coolness that can hardly be found in any other movie. Inspired casting, with John Cusack on point; excellent, low-key direction; sparkling dialogue; brilliant music... it's the only movie I've watched twice in a day since I was fourteen. As a bonus: One of the (if not THE) best fight scenes in movie history. What's not to like?

Now HERE'S an interesting little feature - a scintillating romance film (Driver and Cusack have some of the best chemistry I've ever seen) with a hired gun action pastiche shoddily sewn on. Excise the dumb 007 merc plot arc and you've got one seriously fun movie. ★★★★, flaws and all.
