IMDB rank: 7.4.
IMDB link.
Notes: Who knew that John Cusack could play such great bad guy? Cusack is hitman Martin Blank. He’s tough but vulnerable, which he proves during a job that takes him to his 10-year high school reunion in Grosse Pointe. He ends up falling in love with someone from his past, Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver). Except this throws a wrench in current assignment. This is one film that a true John Cusack fan will never tire of watching, not just for Cusack’s presence but the great supporting cast. There’s also a great 80s soundtrack, if you’re into that.
