- Martin Blank is a contract hit man. After being in the business for five years, he is getting disillusioned with it, imposing himself on a therapist, Dr. Oatman, who is reluctant to help him through his issues because of his business. Part of his disillusionment is because of the changing nature of the business, as witnessed by one of his fellow hit men, Grocer, wanting to form a cartel of sorts despite the inherent non-trust with each of the other hit men. Because of one of his contracts not having gone down quite according to plan, Martin is forced to take a job in Detroit for the same client pro bono. Marcella, who handles the administrative aspects of Martin's business, encourages him to attend his ten year high school reunion in Grosse Pointe in suburban Detroit while he's there anyway. Martin left Grosse Pointe the day of the graduation prom never having returned. In the process, he stood up his prom date and serious girlfriend at the time, Debi Newberry. While in Detroit/Grosse Pointe, Martin wants to forget about his hit man life and focus most specifically with reconnecting with Debi, who now works as a local radio host. Making it up to Debi may not be as easy as Martin wants, despite both still being attracted to each other. But getting away from his hit man life may not be that easy either as Grocer has tipped off the NSA to Martin's job, the two agents, Steven Lardner and Kenneth McCullers, who plan to take him in when they catch him in the process of the hit, but who contemplate taking him out themselves. In addition, Martin learns the hard way that someone else has taken a contract out on him. Martin's life becomes even more complicated when he learns who his contracted hit is.
- Martin Blank is a freelance hitman who starts to develop a conscience, which causes him to muff a couple of routine assignments. On the advice of his secretary and his psychiatrist, he attends his 10th year High School reunion in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (a Detroit suburb where he's also contracted to kill someone). Hot on his tail are a couple of over-enthusiastic federal agents, another assassin who wants to kill him, and Grocer, an assassin who wants him to join an "Assassin's Union."
- A good rule of thumb is to give a wide berth to movies whose titles are based on feeble puns, especially when the lead character's name has been specifically designed to form the pun.<br/><br/>Forget that rule with "Grosse Pointe Blank" with John Cusack playing the eponymous Martin Blank.<br/><br/>As the film develops, we learn that Blank is also an allegorical name. He has no foundational ethics. He really is an inner blank.<br/><br/>Blank owns and operates a mom-and-pop contract-killing concern, with the help of his ever-loyal secretary Marcella (John Cusack's real-life sister, Joan). Blank likes his loan-wolf lifestyle. It allows him to give his clients personal service at reasonable prices.<br/><br/>But he's not perfect. He botched a recent job and accidentally took out a dog. This has severe ramifications for his near future. To repay for his blunder, he must take a make-up job in Detroit near his original home of Grosse Pointe Michigan, an upscale Detroit suburb.<br/><br/>Coincidentally, his ten-year high school reunion is also coming up that weekend. On the advice of his secretary and his shrink, Blank decides to make the weekend a double-header, fulfilling his contract and attending his reunion -- hoping to meet his old flame, Debi, now a local disk jockey.<br/><br/>Blank faces professional as well as personal problems. A rival contract killer named Grocer (since we know "GPB" is not above cheap puns, is this a Marxist pun at the bourgeois?) is trying to form a union of hit-men. By Grocer's description, it sounds more like a power-grab. Blank, who cherishes his independence, declines to sign on.<br/><br/>Grocer was the original vendor of the Detroit job. When the job is given to Blank, Grocer thinks Blank stole his gig. Grocer betrays Blank to the National Security Agency as an international assassin, which puts a couple of government spooks on his tail. They intend to "wax" Blank, but first they must catch him in the commission of his crime. <br/><br/>Blank, Grocer, and the G-men converge on Grosse Pointe, along with a joker in the deck, another international assassin sent to find Blank and kill him as payback for the dog.<br/><br/>The cast is awash with Cusacks (John is the star, Joan is the secretary, Ann pops up for a cameo, and a Bill Cusack is floating around somewhere). The rest of the cast is uniformly excellent. Dan Ackroyd plays at full throttle as Grocer. Minnie Driver is the old flame burned out on Blank. Alan Arkin is typically brilliant in his cameo as the shrink who only treats Blank because Blank says "I know where you live." <br/><br/>While some lament the level of sex and violence in the movies, they often fall in two camps. They are troubled more by the sex, or they are troubled more by the violence.<br/><br/>Sex is not an issue in "Grosse Pointe Blank." I noticed no nudity. While hanky-panky is suggested, intimate moments are not flung in our faces.<br/><br/>The violence is high-octane. While some bemoan that movie violence may be imitated, they don't seem to worry about sex. From a personal standpoint, I am DRASTICALLY more likely to be enticed into imitating sexy than violent scenes. I have tried "to kiss like they do in the movies" (amongst other things -- I once tried to duplicate the strawberry moment in "Tess" with disastrous results). But I have never shot anyone.<br/><br/>Violence is a serious issue for me as I grew up on butchered Warner Brothers cartoons. Back in that day, shootin' irons were severely edited. Yosemite Sam only had to step on screen and there was an irritating jump-cut to the next scene.<br/><br/>Of course, the major difference is that when violence is depicted on screen, one knows it's fake. This applies most obviously when Clint Eastwood mows down an entire German army in "Where Eagles Dare." Few people will saunter out of a theater thinking it's real. The same with Luke Skywalker blowing up an entire Death Star full of storm troopers. But when a guy comes on screen to fondle a real woman's really bare breasts and they loll around naked in bed, it's far more likely to inspire imitation.<br/><br/>The violence in Grosse Pointe Blank leans toward the cartoonish, and it is quite excessive. These hit-men are not Oswalds who take out their targets with three shots. They empty their automatic weapons into 'em. Ammunition must be quite an overhead expense in this business. One would think advertising more accuracy with fewer shots would give a contractor a competitive edge.<br/><br/>And it's not just gun-violence. Blank and his peers learn to take out their quarries with whatever comes to hand. Blank tells his shrink, "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork." This adroit use of atypical tools of the trade is demonstrated on screen, once with very funny results. And I've never read where anyone was killed with a . . . but that's too much of a spoiler. When the gun violence starts, it is wonderfully noisy and unremitting. This may be satirical, but the best humor comes from truth.<br/><br/>"Grosse Pointe Blank" builds to an exciting, noisy climax as all the ragged ends of Blank's life finally come together.<br/><br/>If you're not too stodgy and puritanical to find humor in excessive violence, this is the flick for you. It is cleverly written material well performed and directed.<br/><br/>"Gross Pointe Blank" also perfectly captures the high school reunion zeitgeist. The excitement of seeing familiar faces one suffered through years of school with, but who dropped out of sight immediately after graduation. The bafflement at the way some classmates turned out (for better or worse). And the tie-loosening grinding down of the party, where you've had a good time and one too many, and you'll be just as happy not to see any of these people again for another decade.
- I saw this movie in the theatre when it was first released and loved it. There are few special affects - though you have to love the burrito bomb taking out the quickie mart - and though it is a comedy it is not about the jokes - there are none per say. The laughs are more about the absurdity of the situation and though the Martin is a hit-man, his troubles are so relevant and easy to relate to that you can't help but feel like this is someone you either know or would like to know - though as he puts it - he would blow your brains out if there was enough money in it. John Cusack is the ultimate everyman - someone that we can relate to, while Dan Akroyd plays his self professed father-figure and mentor, and though they are both guns for hire - they are as different as night and day - or is that just what Martin wants to believe. A guy who kills indescriminently but won't blow up a Green Peace boat because he has "morals." This is truly one of my all time favorite movies - from the scene where Martin cocks his gun before the reunion (this is me breathing) to the running through the school with a corpse to "99 Red Balloons" to the most touching scene of Martin holding a baby to "Under Pressure" and realizing that he may be wrong with everything he ever held true - it is an amazing movie. It helps that this movie came out the year of my own 10 year class reunion but I promise if you are a child of the '80's this is a movie for you.
- The picture is a soggy, all-over-the- place mess.
- Since Grocer killed the man that Martin was trying to protect in the opening scene of the film, Grocer thought it might be a good idea to form an underground union of sorts made up of himself & several other assassins who were all clamoring for work around the world after they'd left their respective organizations. Martin worked for several years for the CIA and went independent. It appears that Grocer had as well. As Grocer says, the guild would help them prevent "embarrassing overlap" like the assassination that happened a short time before: Martin shot and killed the cyclist who was going to shoot the man coming out of the hotel. Grocer then showed up and killed the man Martin was protecting.<br/><br/>Grocer's motivation in asking Martin to join is probably that he knows that Martin is an effective contract killer and would be a great benefit to the guild. However, Martin dislikes the idea of working for anyone but himself and especially doesn't want to work for Grocer. He also mentions during the cafe scene when talking to Grocer that "bad things start happening" when people like them join forces. Martin might have some experience in that area but he might also know about the experiences of peers that ended badly -- they may have turned on each other in a grab for power or money. <br/><br/>Out of petty revenge, Grocer calls Lardner and his partner and informs them that Martin will be targeting Debi's father in Detroit & they're sent out to catch Martin in the act and kill him as an enemy of the state. He's a member of the Basque organization who has been contracted by another of Martin's clients to kill Martin. <br/><br/>Some months before the story opens, Martin had been contracted by one of his clients to kill someone for them. While he was trying to complete the contract, a dog, that the mark(s) had borrowed from Martin's clients was accidentally killed while retrieving a stick of dynamite they'd been using to flush game while hunting. The client blamed Martin for the dog's death and put a contract on him using LaPoubelle. a5c7b9f00b
