Minnie Driver and John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank
The Big Picture Richard Linklater is a filmmaker who has succeeded by adding a level of emotional authenticity to his projects that is rarely seen in mainstream Hollywood films. Movies like Boyhood, the Before trilogy, and even Dazed and Confused reject the standard narrative arcs that audiences have come to expect; rather, these films feel like “slice of life” projects that focus on realistic conversations between characters that feel like real people.
Grosse Pointe Blank RComedy Martin Blank is a hitman for hire. When he starts to develop a conscience, he botches a couple of routine jobs. On the advice of his secretary and his psychiatrist, he decides to attend his ten-year high school reunion in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. ‘Grosse Pointe Blank’ Is Filled With Dark Humor Grosse Point Blank works because it focuses more on the romance than the action. Although Martin initially thinks that returning to his hometown is merely an obligation, he’s forced to reflect on his decisions from the moment that he reunites with Debi; his mind begins to spiral out of control as he wonders what life would have looked like if he didn’t abandon her all those years ago.
