Movie

Grosse Pointe Blank

1997 · 107 min

A wry, offbeat blend of slick hitman action and wistful high-school-reunion nostalgia, carried by deadpan wit and a killer soundtrack.

Tagline: Even a hit man deserves a second shot.
Overview: 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.
