LucyJun 12, 2021Guy who is better, smarter and more successful than everyone he went to HS escapes the trap of "not being cool anymore" by being a totally amoral contract killer. This may be the most Gen X movie ever made. It's saturated with all of their obsessions with not turning into…

96 "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's, well, broken." This movie shouldn't work, but it does. Much like Miami Blues, there's a swiftness and cohesive logic that spirals out of its script, tumbling down through incident and humor and…

andy levySep 30, 2025I’m concerned by how much I’m relating to a 28-year-old hitman (not the killing people part)
Patrick WillemsJun 27, 2021Man, I miss John Cusack. I mean.... he’s still around but, his career hasn’t been the same in the last 10 years or so. Can he just like, come back ? Let’s get him back. Yes. He’s just such a legendary actor and so underlooked. Let’s all just take a minute to think about…

Something about this movie just pleases me whenever I watch it. The comical elements all land and the action scenes are plenty of fun. The characters have their own gimmicks and it creates a fun little assassins universe. This movie is not for all, but I enjoy it 7.2/10 🔫❤️🩹
Arsal likedGrosse Pointe BlankA dark comedy with bite and heart. Brilliant blend of humor, action, and existential dread. Cusack is perfect, the dialogue sings, and the reunion backdrop is oddly interesting for a hitman tale.

Noah Julian likedGrosse Pointe BlankFunny and very interesting movie. Pretty unique. It’s a comedy, light thriller and sort of romance movie. 7.5/10. Minnie Driver is very easy on the eyes too for her breakout role.
hanne likedGrosse Pointe Blankrating: 🗂️🗂️🗂️ super fun, well-paced family movie night action comedy. the cusacks are so funny together and debi’s hair and outfits are FABULOUS
Mickerdoo lovedGrosse Pointe BlankRelatable while being ridiculous. Good action. Funny dialogue. Great stereotypes. Cusack is fun and cool. Driver is flirty and cute.
- Harry Lime likedGrosse Pointe Blank
Pleasantly surprised with this offbeat comedy. A Gen-X midlife crisis with a good soundtrack and Dame Joan Cusack stealing scenes.
James New likedGrosse Pointe BlankReally unique and holds its own today in cult-classic 90s films. Great screenplay, great performances and a 10/10 soundtrack
Al C likedGrosse Pointe BlankFun but the ending is really blunt, feels like it didn’t tie it up as well as they could have but love Minnie and John

A hilarious new addition to the wonderfully warped Generation X-Files.
Rita Kempley

A wild at heart, anarchic comedy that believes in living dangerously.
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
The picture is a soggy, all-over-the- place mess.
