This film is so great in so many ways. The subtle humor. The funny violence. The dozens of great one liners. This film is for everyone for hated Empire Records! Because unlike Empire Records, Grosse Pointe Blank is witty, has a talented cast, a great story, and most of all it is howlingly funny!

All the people who have condemned this film are the ones who love stupid films like Empire Records, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore...and who think a fart joke is classic comedy material...these people who I am describing are the dim wits who can't find the subtle humor in Grosse Pointe Blank because they are simply STUPID!

John Cusack is in top form playing the kind hearted hit man, this could be the best role of his career (I'll wait for Thin Red Line before deciding)...he fits this role like a glove and his delivery is simply superb......he is an excellent comedy actor. He was backed up so greatly by Minnie Driver, who is destined for huge things after this, Good Will Hunting and Circle of Friends. She is so funny. She is the new Gwyneth Paltrow (meaning she is english and impersonates an American accent to perfection. Gwyn is the other way around)

The rest of the supporting cast were superb, with Dan Akroyd in top form, and Alan Arkin delivering a fine if a little unseen performance...and then there's Joan Cusack who steals every scene she's in......simply because she has talent and knows what comedy is.......

Over all Grosse Pointe Blank is fresh, fast paced, fun, and different......for all those dim witted people who loved Empire Records stay away from a great movie like this....
