Grosse Pointe Blank...

one of the funniest, darkest comedy to come out in the 1990's...

Just a tid bit from the movie, which stars John and Joan Cusack, Minnie Driver, Day Akyroyd, Alan Arkin, Hank Azara and Jeremy Piven...



Martin Blank is a professional assassin. He is sent on a mission to a small Detroit suburb, Grosse Pointe, and, by coincidence, his ten-year high school reunion party is taking place there at the same time.

John Cusak is one of my favorite actors. There's always something going on with him, just under the surface.

Great movie!

John and Joan are always a pleasure to see in anything. And Minnie Driver, with her desire for an airplane ride, charms me in the sweetest way.

Just lots of fun in so many ways! Any movie I can watch both Cusacks in is well worth watching! It is one movie that I'll sit down to watch any time.
