John Cusack is Martin Blank the Hitman you really start to root for. His rarified career option leaves him in a very precarious position in terms of relationships.he spends much of the movie trying to re enter normal society and his high school reunion offers this opportunity."Hi I'm Martin, remember me,I'd kill you if some one gave me enough money"As this film comes to a head the situation comedy grows with 1 liners firing off almost as fast as the bullets. No weak link in this movie from the sound track to the support characters who all have a screw loose.even the hitmans shrink has lost a grip. I can reccomend this to anyone who has a little spare time and a sense of humour. Beware viewing this film could become addictive once tried.

I love, love, love this film - John Cusack is perfect as Martin Blank, the hitman back in his hometown for a hit, and dropping by his high school's 10 year reunion at the same time. Minnie Driver is brilliant as the girlfriend he stood up on prom night, Jeremy Piven is - as always - perfect in his role as Cusack's old buddy, Dan Ackroyd is hilarious as the unhinged hitman on Cusack's trail, determined to either kill him or make him join his 'union', and Joan Cusack is brilliant as Blank's secretary, walking the line between caring about her slightly sinister boss, and being scared witless by him and what he does. The 80s soundtrack is perfect - brings back the school memories for me too! A truly wonderful film. Buy it now - you really won't be disappointed.
