Movie Review
Grade: C+
Grosse Point Blank is an unusual comedy... about a hit man. Right there it tells you that this isn't a family comedy, nor is it really a comedy at all. There are a few funny parts, and the majority of the movie isn't serious, but the fact that the main character is a hit man, and he is being pursued by a bunch of deadly killers, doesn't make much for a comedy. But really, I'd have to say it is a romance, because most of the movie deals with him trying to work things out with his high school love, played by Minnie Driver. Read the full movie review
