I must have missed this flick when it came out in the theater. I enjoy dark comedies and all of the actors in the film. Is it any good?

This is one of my favorites! If you like dark comedies you will enjoy this one. There is quite a bit of action too. It has 5.1 sound and the picture is enhanced. The only extra is a trailer.

It is a movie not for all tastes, My wife and I both loved the movie, It has a great soundtrack. There seems (IMO) to be an age difference in the people that liked this movie, people who went to high school in the 80's seem to like it. Kinda a like all those great 80's (Say Anyting, Better off Dead, Heathers, etc) movies matured and grew up into Grosse Point Blank.

I'm only 21, but I have to say this movie is one of my favorites. Def. a keeper, imo. I don't have, and haven't seen the dvd tho, so I can't say much about that, but the movie is awesome. Alot of people I've recommended it to seem to like it. You should at least rent it

I'd classify this movie was "offbeat". It was hip, had an attitude of its own, and was very watchable. Then again I fit right in the demographics for the movie (a decade removed from high school) at the time I saw it, so it was more familiar to me, and did twinge some of those feelings for me.

This is actually a very well done movie. John Cusak is, as always, great. Minnie Driver and Dan Akroyd are good as well. There's some funny dark stuff in there that I just love. Plus, the name of one of the hitmen, "Felix La PuBelle". How classic is that???
The DVD, unfortunately, is an early Buena Vista piece of mediocrity. The video is passable, no extras, and not anamorphic. Yikes!

A great flick, but then again I'm a big John Cusak fan. Love it....don't hesitate to get it.
