Grosse Pointe Blank

For John Cusack lovers, "Grosse Pointe Blank" is one of his best, an engaging showcase for his droll demeanor and a seamless blend of comedy and action.

Great characters, performances, and dialogue

Fast moving and funny. Great actors. Its hard to find a movie that isn't totally predictable, entertaining, and amusing. A good night's entertainment.

Unapologetically my favourite film! Must have watched in excess of 20 times, Cusack plays the main character perfectly, more than ably assisted by Driver and Ackroyd. To my mind the ideal foils, both adding to the dark comic humour . To see Martin Blank the professional hitman so unsure of both himself and how to deal with ‘human’ emotions and situations was so well acted it hits the right note - add a banging soundtrack and there you go 10/10

It's entertaining and interesting. Great acting. Unique film.

Loved the movie 🍿 avdenture, romance at the same time ⭐️

Flying high on its hilarious script and seductive malevolence, Grosse Pointe Blank was seemingly everywhere when I was growing up, its soundtrack so intrinsically etched into my very soul, the cocky yet loveable attitude of its cast and above all taking what could be a very one-note idea and playing with it in an uproarious way. Treating the idea of a professional killer as if it's just another profession, one that's gotten staid and corporate. Tackling the ravages of time with a rambunctious tone, the film wraps emotional entropy and existential study into a clever, conceptual comedy that so befits the 90s. Director George Armitage gets the mix of wry humour and edgy violence dead on, while John Cusack’s cocked-grin charm and earnest determination tell us not to take it all too seriously without sinking his character into farce, his hyper-cool manner and razor-sharp delivery of the film's cracking dialogue is never anything but convincing. Backed by a fantastic supporting cast and rocking soundtrack, Grosse Pointe Blank delivers darkly comic sensibilities, morally flawed protagonists, savoury witticisms and dryly acute observations in a way that only a late 90s film can.

🍅 6.4/10 I think his therapist needs a therapist. A witty and often chuckle worthy film with great 90s style. The structure isn’t always strong in my opinion the constant songs kinda get annoying by a certain point and some little things I would like to see more developed especially by the end with a couple loose ends. but with all that said it’s a super enjoyable comedy with a great lead preference by the amazing John Cusack who’s slowly becoming one of my favorite actors. Grade B

troughs back to the 90’s! i loved it!

The movie never decided what it was. Not an action film but more of a far fetched romantic comedy? The hero is blank and the plot is nothing special.
