Grosse Pointe Blank(1997)

Dir. Directed by George Armitage

Amusing, but not funny. The Martin Q. Blank character played by John Cusack should, quite clearly, have been played by Nicolas Cage.

Synopsis: Hitman Martin Blank becomes a moving target after he rebuffs a fellow assassin's invitation to form a union. On the advice of his quirky assistant and neurotic psychiatrist, Martin begrudgingly heads out to Grosse Pointe, Michigan for his ten-year high school reunion, where he soon comes across the woman he jilted on prom night.
