Grosse Pointe Blank

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

Grosse Pointe Blank is one of John Cusack's more underappreciated film efforts. He plays Martin Blank, a dispirited, disillusioned hired assassin who returns to his hometown for his ten-year reunion, and to reconnect with the girl he left behind. Despite the fact that he wants out of the "kill-for-pay" game, others are not so keen to see him exit the scene. Two teams follow Martin to the reunion, where, inevitably, things go wildly awry.
Minnie Driver is excellent as the lovelorn, abandoned girlfriend, while Dan Ackroyd steals the show as a lunatic assassin who wants Martin to join the fledgling organization he's attempting to create. For lovers of quirky scripts and unexpected turns, Grosse Pointe Blank is the film to see.

Say Anything... (20th Anniversary Edition) and The Sure Thing (Special Edition) and GROSSE POINTE BLANK are always jockeying for top honors as my all-time favorite John Cusack picture. Should I have a yen for a John Hughes type of film, then the first two films above tend to inch ahead. But if I'm craving something more subversive, then I must roll with GROSSE POINTE BLANK. John Cusack may have cornered the market on those intelligent everyman roles. He's always presented this impression that complicated gears are always whirring around in his skull. In GROSSE POINTE BLANK, a freakin' delicious black comedy, Cusack's internal conflict has never been more pronounced.

Martin Blank is a burnt-out hit man, and maybe his moral flexibility has at last reached that snapping point. Martin has just botched his last kill. One could tell his heart wasn't in it. His employers are cheesed, royally so. He's given one chance to atone. Accordingly, the next job takes him to his hometown of Detroit.

Martin isn't one for nostalgia. Still, there's that pang of curiosity when he learns of his impending tenth year high school reunion (Class of '86, huzzah!). Check this: Martin Blank is touted as "Detroit's Most Famous Disappearing Act," given that the last anyone had seen of him, he was standing up Debi Newberry on prom night. Down the years, people assumed that he either got murdered or brainwashed or had joined a cult. You'd think it'd be a bit late (and unprofessional) for Martin Blank to develop angst, and yet there it is. In Detroit he can't help but hearken back, and especially hearken back to Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver) who today is a popular radio DJ. She's not afraid to call him out on his past transgressions.

In Detroit, Martin's personal life intrudes into his professional one. And, yeah, maybe it's hard to keep your eyes on the prize when you visit your old home only to find out that it's been torn down and replaced with a homogeneous convenience store. An exasperated (yet philosophical) Martin reflects: "You can never go home again... but you can shop there." Lest you think this movie fixates too much on angsty navel-gazing, know that there's ample action to rev up the pace. Martin's Detroit assignment isn't as by the numbers as he'd assumed, not with his rival, Mr. Grocer (Dan Ackroyd), so violently intent on poaching the kill contract. Goes to show, the murder game is such a competitive field. In fact, someone in the film refers to it as a "growth industry." Heh. By the way, it's pretty nifty seeing Ackroyd switch things up and get all sinister. Still, the action highlight has to be Cusack's hallway death match with legendary martial artist Benny "the Jet" Urquidez. It's just cool to see Cusack in a brutal, drag-out fight, even though, okay, the more advanced moves were probably performed by a stunt double.

Minnie Driver has never been more appealing, and she's got great chemistry with Cusack, and her Yank accent is again impeccable. Their interactions make for some stand-out moments. But then again I find that Cusack has great chemistry with everyone onscreen. His scenes with Ackroyd are marvelous, and I have to reiterate how pleased I was at Ackroyd's unexpected and very effective turn as the big bad. Cusack's real-life sister, Joan, has a nifty bit part as his assistant Marcella. I am become jaded at her history of excellent scene-stealing. I love how she takes these roles that could have been these unassuming roles and steers them down unexpected avenues. Lastly, Alan Arkin made me laugh out loud each time he was onscreen here. He plays Cusack's very, very nervous psychiatrist who finds himself constantly walking on eggshells during their sessions.

John Cusack anchors this thing. He's one of the few really interesting and quirky actors out there today whose movies I'll check out even if, going in, I don't what they're about. He's surpassed Tom Hanks as my favorite contemporary actor some time ago. I love the innate intelligence and the casual humor and the wry, detached approach he applies. It's fascinating watching Cusack work and how he manifests his internal process by virtue of body language and a repertoire of revealing expressions and by nuanced (yet deadpan) intonation. I don't know that there's anyone else out there who can better articulate the role of an assassin-for-hire who develops a conscience. John Cusack can play just about anything, except an idiot. I don't think he knows how to do that.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2011

*** updated 2/7/15: now out on blurary, the transfer is great and worth buying even if you already own the DVD. Still, no bonus features of any kind to speak of ***

Original review: GREAT movie badly needing a HD upgrade considering how poor the standard DVD looks on big TVs.

A black comedy about an ex-CIA, now hitman for hire is a perfect vehicle to showcase Cusack's talents. The world is changing, and as Martin Blank will tell you, countries no longer matter and people are just as likely to be killed over soda pop formulas than political ideology. Martin tries to rationalize the "moral flexibility" that he sees going on in the world, where market-driven globalization means more than patriotism to one's own country, by saying he at least has SOME scruples (for example, he won't take out a hit on a Greenpeace activist).

But only 10 year removed from high school, he's not entirely OK with his new profession. Some of the funnier side stories involve trips to his psychiatrist (Alan Arkin), who wants to drop him for a client. Blank won't let him, and dryly points out some logical reasons he should be treated, but then also casually states "and of course, I know where you live".

When Martin goes back home to Michigan for his 10 year High School reunion he has to face several people who have no idea what he does for a living, including old parents, old teachers, old friends, and old flames. Even when he tells the truth no one takes him seriously, including his buddy played by Jeremy Piven, in what many consider to be his break out role. Minnie Driver does an adequate job as the girl he jilted on prom-night to join the army, but there are a couple of forced scenes added to the movie for "date night" appeal where she is made to look fawningly at Martin that should have been left on the cutting room floor. Overall though, this is really a great supporting cast, with Hank Azaria and even Cusack's own sister as his deranged secretary who has a great scene arguing over a misplaced bullet order.

Much of the dialogue comes forth in a fast, rapid style that seems like he's exchanging gunfire in a high stakes shootout rather than talking. This is especially true when he deals with Dan Akroyd's character, who plays a rival hitman bent on trying to unionize all assassins. "Workers of the world unite!" "Will there be meetings?", Martin asks. "Of course!" Akroyd exclaims as the two continue to circle each other and mentally measure for body bags. Akroyd talks even faster than Cusack, and when the two of them get going the one liners come faster than you can process them. At one point he tells Blank to "Cut the string Chatty Cathy". When overdone it can get annoying, but for the most part is balances right.

Michiganders will especially like the movie, stocked with Detroit landmarks and Red Wings jerseys even though most of it was shot in Chicago and not Grosse Pointe. When he goes to visit his old childhood home and discovers it had been turned into a Ultie-Mart, local brands of Stroh's beer and Faygo pop are quickly shot up. Not sure if these were just product placements, a serious attempt to sell the geography, or a clever way to again showcase Martin's notion that the "McDonaldization" of the world is destroying a sense of place. They say you can't go back home, but you can make a fresh start in life and make a very funny and entertaining movie along the way. And afterall, who doesn't want to kill a bad ass Czech assassin in front of your old highschool locker with the help of a yearbook signing pen?

A lost classic!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

It had been about 20 years since I last saw Grosse Pointe Blank; so I picked up a DVD of it wondering how it might hold up after almost quarter of a century, and I am pleased to say that it has aged wonderfully. This film, in my opinion, is a lost classic. It is funny; clever and original, and still, sadly, a rather overlooked film.

For years I have been hoping for a special edition DVD/Blu-Ray to be issued, but that still hasn't happened which is a shame, as I think it deserves as much. Now come on Criterion: do the decent thing and show Grosse Pointe Blank the love it is worthy of.

A WONDERFUL IDEA! A HITMAN GOES TO HIS HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

As soon as I saw this film, it immediately became one of my all-time favourites. What a wonderful idea! A hitman goes to his high school reunion and reconnects with his childhood sweetheart,, who just happens to be a radio DJ playing one of the hippest soundtracks ever. All the cast are at the very top of their game, and have never been better: John Cusack as the hitman in an existential crisis; Minnie Driver as his long-lost love with a nice line in crackling dialogue; and Dan Aykroyd as Grocer, a rival with a preposterous agenda - a trade union for hitmen (join it or die). There are some wonderful set pieces - amongst them a shoot-out in a convenience store, with the counter assistant completely oblivious as he's playing a noisy video game; and the hitmen breakfasting together in a diner, guns cocked under the table..Of course there are plenty of bodies to be disposed of, in this blackest of black comedies. But it's all great fun.

Conflicted assassin with issues and a psychoanalyst who's petrified of him and wants him to go away is trying to avoid joining a newly formed killers cooperative. To confuse matters further he gets an invitation to his old alma maters college reunion and his assistant thinks he should go.
Loads of action, musical nostalgia and a reignited romance despite the girl in questions father being his latest target.
To be honest it's completely insane and it shouldn't work but somehow it does. Nuts but wonderful.

The only thing wrong with this is the lack of any extras on the DVD, but I actually don't care as this is one of the smartest, cleverest, wittiest and funniest films I have ever seen. John Cusack is a master of black comedy and fork assassination and his sister Joan as his secretary/handler is a ditzy but deadly joy to watch. I can't recommend this movie highly enough, and it also boasts one of the coolest soundtracks courtesy of Joe Strummer and bands such as The Specials, The Clash and The Pixies. Just go and watch it, you will love yourself for it.......

Assassins can have unions too

I loved the movie, and thought the acting was as witty and well paced as the script. Jeremy Piven is wonderful as is the hitman pursuing Martin because of ... I wont spoil it for you. A highlight for me: the security guard whose 2 week training gave him permission to shoot on sight.

The soundtrack is very British punk and ska and recalls good times; however it does not repay a good stereo as the reproduction could have been far better. I cant see a teenager listening to The Clash, and then waiting for Blank in an $800 prom dress, but with the right soundtrack you would get "When Peggy Sue Got married" - a very different High School reunion, but same disappointed prom queen, but here she got the man.

Thankfully Minnie Driver's part is just one of his relationships explored in the movie.
