Grosse Pointe Blank

8/16/2026

This is endearing, heartwarming, funny, and pretty darn wholesome given what John Wick has taught us about assassins. A high school reunion is traumatic enough, but when you add some contract killers to the mix then a spiked punch bowl becomes so much less of an issue. The movie is really quite good and plenty funny. It has aged surprisingly well and it has lovely music and cineography. The main cast pulls off their jobs beautifully and the direction is spot on to convey the emotions that are important here. There is a hilarious amount of overkill to some of the fight scenes and you're left wondering about all the loose ends. It's a fun experience and I recommend this movie.
