This is an offbeat, black comedy about a hit man, Martin Blank (John Cusack), who is undergoing some personal angst about his career choice. He sees a psychiatrist, Dr. Oatman (Alan Arkin), who, once he becomes aware of his patient's profession, wants nothing more to do with him. Moreover, a most unlikely, rival hit man (Dan Ackroyd) is on his tail, looking to clear the field of a potential rival. Bizarre mixture of hired assassin action film and romantic comedy is well done and pretty entertaining. The DOwnside is there are no special features on the DVD. Still a must have for any collection.
This particular copy of a completely entertaining, funny film is in great condition! Worked just fine from the first try. This is a must have for anyone's film collection. The music soundtrack was superb and completely fit the action.

Iโm a big fan of John Cusack and both of these movies were good. Grosse Pointe Blank is a love story with a comedy twist. Serendipity is magical. I am very happy with both. Thank you ๐

This would rank as one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. It's a dark comedy, that also has romance, with a great lines, as well as great, top notch actors. One of my favorite lines would be one of Minnie Driver's: "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you, well, they're broken." It sort of sums up the life of Martin Blank, a hitman, who goes back to his hometown to do a job, as well as attend his high school reunion. He sort of rediscovers himself and reconnects with his old life. He meets up with Debi, his high school sweetheart, whom he stood up on prom night - to disappear completely out of sight, until the day before his high school reunion. Apparently, Debi's statement comes out as true - he does come back 'broken' ( a cold blooded murderer - to be precise) though his love for her, puts him back in line. He gets a new found respect for life and tries to win back his girl. It's a fun movie to watch as it is entertaining for both the way it was written, as well as how great the actors portrayed their roles. I loved the scenes between Debi and Martin - especially the first time they meet. It was awkward but incredibly romantic - in weird sort of way. It's one of those movies you won't mind watching over and over again.Read full review
