I love this movie. Grosse Pointe Blank is smart and witty and has a stunning 1980s soundtrack. Martin Blank (Cusack) is an angst ridden international hit-man who has stopped enjoying his work. He searches for meaning in his life and returns... Full review

GPB is has a little of everything. Great action, great romance, great humor. But the best part is the soundtrack featuring songs from bands like The Clash, Motorhead, Bob Marley and many others. A DVD and a soundtrack that everyone should... Full review
John Cusack plays Martin Blank, a neurotic hit-man who spends all his time brooding about death, the meaning of life and the pointlessness of existence. Killing means nothing to Blank, because life itself is meaningless. What a great premise. In true... Full review

Some movies have a good story that is made great by the casting. This is one such film. It has a cast to die for and makes what could have been an interesting film superb. John and Joan Cusack play great... Full review

This is a great romantic comedy with a "dark" twist. The characters are great and Dan Akroyd does a SUPERB job. I love John Cussack and he does not dissapoint in this movie at all. Along with an awesome supporting cast,... Full review

The Cinema Source
The movie moves , has you watching closely, and the jokes -- well, they fling about ten per second at you, so a few of them are bound to fall flat, but the ratio's actually not bad. If you just went to yourself, "Wow, it sounds like a complete mess," well, you wouldn't be alone: the flick has been trashed by critics, which kind of surprises me. ... Full Review

iF Magazine
Director Joshua Seftel stages action well - Cusack's killer moves are credible and the explosions are properly horrifying - and helms a lot of very funny moments, though occasionally both script and director hit jokes too hard. The movie also loses a few points for a homophobic bit - it's hard to say whether it's meant to be gratuitous or a plot factor, but either way, it's objectionable. ... Full Review

John Cusack's well-intentioned war satire falls flat A thuddingly heavy-handed comedy about corporations profiting both from wars and from their aftermath, the film contains not one honest-to-goodness laugh. ... Full Review

A bigger problem for Grosse Pointe Blank is....in its modest way, it's one of 1997's best films, and certainly the funniest and freshest.....Most other comedies would have gone for a cheap laugh in which Martin drops the guy with one well-aimed foot..... ... Full Review
