Both "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "High Fidelity" are great pieces of work. They use wonderfully entertaining dialogue with Cusack performing seamlessly with the rest of the cast. The dark comedy in "Blank" will bounce off the painstaking soul searching in "Fidelity." See them now if you never have, and enjoy two intelligent films.

You cannot go wrong with John Cusack....

These are two of my favorite movies of the last ten years...

It isn't the writing which was excellent in both cases, but the casting. You cannot go wrong with John Cusack. The rest of the cast in both movies are just sublime. Jerry Piven and Joan Cusack are wonderful, Jack Black blew up in his role in "High Fidelity". However, the cream of the crop has got to be Dan Ackroyd. I think his role in "Grosse Pointe Blank may have been the highlight of an excellent career.

An explosion of a film! John Cusack,Joan Cusack, Minnie Driver, & Dan Akroyd give all they got in this movie. YOu have a hitman who gets an invitation to his ten year high school reunion and at the same time has to do a hit there, and then bumps into Minnie Driver and has to explain to her as to why he stood her up. While trailing behing him is Dan akroyd trying to knock him off as well. A Funny dark comedy that keeps your attention from beginning to end. This Dvd has High Great sound and the picture quality is awesome on my 5.1 Sony SS-TS300 Outstanding Sound! Get this version.P.S John Cusack's role in high fidelity was a mistake.A Long boring movie (Not Good)! If you want a laugh keep your eyes on Jack Black, also in saving silverman.

Grosse Pointe Blank is one of the funniest movies of the decade. It is well acted, written and directed.

High Fidelity is a mistake. I think it should have been cast differently (and saved John Cusack the pain of being in this embarassing movie!). I literally got a headache from watching High Fidelity. [....] UGH!
