Hilarious comedy with Cusack as a hit man
14 December 2005
"Grosse Pointe Blank" is an amusing comedy with John Cusack, Minnie Driver, Joan Cusack and Dan Aykroyd in the leading roles. Cusack is perfect for this kind of roles. He gives a very funny performance as the desperate but lethal Martin Blank. There are many funny scenes in this movie, just too much to mention! This movie is definitely a must see.

Although I'm not a big fan of her, Minnie Driver is quit good as well. Joan Cusack was hilarious as his secretary and Dan Aykroyd is also perfect as fellow professional killer of Blank.

The story is well done, not cliché at all. John Cusack is one of my favourite actors and I like him a lot in this kind of comedies. He was outstanding in "High Fidelity" and wonderful in "Say Anything", he was truly amazing in "City Hall" and unique in "Being John Malkovich". I think he is one of the most underrated actors of his generation.
