Review of Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) by Stephen E — 17 Aug 2011
First off, I really liked John Cusack in this movie. I think that he is a great and really likable actor and I don't know anyone else that could've pulled off this role. Secondly, Grosse Pointe Blank reminded me of two other hitman-related movies, In Bruges and The Matador.
All three sort of play out as black comedies in their own way, and are all very funny, but Grosse Pointe Blank, to me, carries an emotional tone with it that the other two don't quite have. It's characters have a lot of depth.
I didn't think that it was a great movie, as some parts kinda didn't feel right, but it was good. Maybe even very good. In the end, Grosse Pointe Blank may be a little bit too sure of itself at times, but it's got a good head on its shoulders and I'm gonna have to recommend it, especially for those shootout scenes.
Great entertainment.
