Grosse Pointe Blank
Newly Added
•
1h 47m
Directed by George Armitage • 1997 • United States
Starring John Cusack, Minnie Driver, Dan Aykroyd
John Cusack’s unstoppable run as puppy-eyed Gen X heartthrob continued with this smart, wittily offbeat blend of hit-man thriller and romantic comedy. He stars as Martin Blank, a professional assassin stuck in a career rut and deep in therapy—until his ten-year high school reunion gives him the chance to both rekindle an old flame and pull off one final job in his hometown of Grosse Pointe, Michigan. The anthemic soundtrack features a score by the Clash’s Joe Strummer alongside an impeccably curated selection of ska and indie favorites by the likes of Violent Femmes, English Beat, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Pixies, and more.
