Being John Cusack
(Page 2)
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
In this original story co-written by Cusack, the actor plays Martin Blank, a gun-for-hire who returns to his hometown of Grosse Pointe, Michigan on an assignment that just happens to coincide with his 10-year high school reunion. But his return home is not as cut and dry as other assignments when rival hitmen, including Dan Aykroyd, attempt to carry out a bid on his head. The movie co-stars Minnie Driver as the abandoned high school girlfriend, Alan Arkin as Blank’s therapist (every hired gun needs one of those) and Jeremy Piven, who, to date, has appeared in 10 movies with the actor.
