A caustic black comedy which Cusack co-wrote, executive produced, and
starred in as Martin Blank. He's a contract killer who goes to his high
school reunion in Grosse Pointe, Michigan because he has a hit to carry
out in Detroit the same weekend, without reckoning on the alarming
discovery that he can no longer reconcile his professional life with
his personal life. An ultra-smart script and sharp pace ensure this is
extremely funny, engaging entertainment, which highlights the
disparity between youthful ideals and subsequent reality. A
characteristically wonderful performance by John's sister Joan as
Blank's super-efficient secretary adds further class.
