WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

DESCRIPTION:

Here's the killer comedy that's loaded with outrageous fun! For Martin Blank (John Cusack - Con Air), a hit man stuck in a career rut, attending his 10-year high school reunion is about the last thing he's in the mood for! But when the prospects of rekindling an old flame (Minnie Driver - Good Will Hunting) and pulling off one final job convince him to go, things are looking up... that is, until Martin's arch rival (Dan Aykroyd) shows up aiming to blow the competition away! For hilarious comedy entertainment that's packed with action, Grosse Pointe Blank is a surefire knockout!

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

The high school in this movie was actually a high school in LA, the film makers tried to use a high school in Grosse Pointe, but the school board would not approve the filming rights because they didn't want it to look as though a hit man had actually graduated from their school. Luckily in LA nobody cared.
In the Ultimart, the employee is playing the video game Doom II, however, that game was never released in an arcade format, the arcade version was made especially for the film.
This is one of eight movies that Joan Cusack stars in with her brother, and two of John's other less famous siblings can also be seen in this film in bit parts.
