Grosse Point Blank

This film only requires brief comment. It is incredibly clear on the tone it wishes to portray and the pace it desires to keep. It is a well written, well constructed piece of film. Yet somehow I find myself not caring about the characters. Do I really care if John Cusack wins back Minnie Driver 10 years after ditching her at the prom? No! The films only real gem is the performance of Joan Cusack. Though a supporting role she catapults comedy into a piece which tries hard to achieve this at several moments, but never quite achieves it.
