Christina Reviews *Grosse Pointe Blank*

          Martin Blank is a hitman. When he gets an invitation to his high school reunion, he doesn’t want to go.  What is he going to say to his old classmates?  Hi, Sally, what are you up to these days?  Oh, you're a wife and a mother?  Me?  Yeah, well, I'm a professional killer.  I get paid to kill people.  What else is new?
     
         His assistant (Joan Cusack), on the otherhand, is dead set on the idea of him attending.  And when he’s hired to off a man in the same town as where his high school is located, she convinces him that this is the opportunity of a lifetime.

        It only follows that he will reconnect with his high school girlfriend (Minnie Driver), whom he abandoned without a word ten years prior. And it only follows that things will get a bit sticky from that point on.  But when is life anything but sticky for a hitman?

         I loved this movie, but then I like Cusack’s style of humor. Not everyone will, I suppose.

        And I just realized that it will have been ten years since I graduated from high school in exactly a month and three days.
