Grosse Pointe Blank

[John] Cusack could not possibly have more perfect timing, and [Minnie] Driver could not be a better foil.

Cusack is charming and assured in the film.
May 11, 2001
A bright burst of action and comedy with a cast that makes for rousing good company.
September 14, 2012
Quirky mix of laughs, romance, strong violence.

Tackling the ravages of time with a rambunctious tone, "Blank" wraps emotional entropy and existential rumination into a clever, conceptual comedy that befits the '90s brethren like "Defending Your Life" or "Groundhog Day" alongside which it stands.

Despite some early indications from the two Cusacks and Arkin that it's going to be funny, it winds up an unholy mess that becomes steadily more incoherent -- morally, dramatically, and conceptually.

For what is essentially a one-joke movie, this has an awful lot going for it.

If Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) was just another comedy in the wave of 80s nostalgia, then John Cusack is the kid who grew up to be Oliver North.

An entertaining oddity, an amiably black comedy whose bared teeth double as an engaging smile: It takes a satiric bite and leaves you laughing through the pain. For that, we can thank the writers.

For John Cusack lovers, "Grosse Pointe Blank" is one of his best, an engaging showcase for his droll demeanor and a seamless blend of comedy and action. It's light entertainment, in spite of the body count.

A soggy, all-over-the- place mess.
