a5c7b9f00b Martin Blank is a freelance hitman who starts to develop a conscience, which causes him to muff a couple of routine assignments. On the advice of his secretary and his psychiatrist, he attends his 10th year High School reunion in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (a Detroit suburb where he's also contracted to kill someone). Hot on his tail are a couple of over-enthusiastic federal agents, another assassin who wants to kill him, and Grocer, an assassin who wants him to join an "Assassin's Union."
Martin Blank is a professional assassin. He is sent on a mission to a small Detroit suburb, Grosse Pointe, and, by coincidence, his ten-year high school reunion party is taking place there at the same time.
Grosse Point Blank is flat out a great film. It has action, comedy, and romance balled into one, but this is one of the few movies that actually succeeds at it. George Armitage does a great job directing, and the cast is excellent. ***** out of *****
I rented this movie to see some more of Minnie Driver who I first saw in God on the Rocks (a movie located in Saltburn close to my home town). I saw Minnie in Good Will Hunting earlier in the week , for which she has already been critically acclaimed. She was also very good here. The movie, I thought was very light, the plot a bit uninteresting, but the performances were comparatively good. Cusack was also a star performer. Very aloof,any contract killer should be. I was surprised to see this movie had receievd an overall 8/10 from imdb users, I hope they were voting for the individual performances rather than the movie itselfI and my partner thought only a 6 was deserving for the movie overall. I can't help but compare the movie to Leon, who looked at this profession in a light way, and Leon comes out tops!
A bright burst of action and comedy with a cast that makes for rousing good company.
Since Grocer killed the man that Martin was trying to protect in the opening scene of the film, Grocer thought it might be a good idea to form an underground union of sorts made up of himself & several other assassins who were all clamoring for work around the world after they'd left their respective organizations. Martin worked for several years for the CIA and went independent. It appears that Grocer hadwell. As Grocer says, the guild would help them prevent "embarrassing overlap" like the assassination that happened a short time before: Martin shot and killed the cyclist who was going to shoot the man coming out of the hotel. Grocer then showed up and killed the man Martin was protecting.<br/><br/>Grocer's motivation in asking Martin to join is probably that he knows that Martin is an effective contract killer and would be a great benefit to the guild. However, Martin dislikes the idea of working for anyone but himself and especially doesn't want to work for Grocer. He also mentions during the cafe scene when talking to Grocer that "bad things start happening" when people like them join forces. Martin might have some experience in that area but he might also know about the experiences of peers that ended badly – they may have turned on each other in a grab for power or money. <br/><br/>Out of petty revenge, Grocer calls Lardner and his partner and informs them that Martin will be targeting Debi's father in Detroit & they're sent out to catch Martin in the act and kill himan enemy of the state. He's a member of the Basque organization who has been contracted by another of Martin's clients to kill Martin. <br/><br/>Some months before the story opens, Martin had been contracted by one of his clients to kill someone for them. While he was trying to complete the contract, a dog, that the mark(s) had borrowed from Martin's clients was accidentally killed while retrieving a stick of dynamite they'd been using to flush game while hunting. The client blamed Martin for the dog's death and put a contract on him using LaPoubelle.
