A fast paced and funny dark comedy with some off kilter romance and random action violence. John Cusack is spot-on casting as the professional hitman facing an existential crisis. Minnie Driver is good as the love interest, trading sharp barbs with Cusack throughout the film. Dan Aykroyd has some fun in a rare villainous turn.

The sharp writing in this film isn't lost, even as the pacing and action are ramped up in the manic third act. Aykroyd and Cusack have excellent comic timing and chemistry, playing opposing forces in this unique comedy.

Intelligent killer fun. Good performances from John Cusack and Minnie Driver. Professional killer goes to his high school reunion, tries to patch it up with sweetheart he ditched, and avoid getting killed. Smart writing, well performed.

John Cusack has a pretty shaky track record when it comes to film, but this dark comedy is one of his better offerings. Just the idea of a hit man attending a class reunion sounds great - with this cast, it's a win-win.

A great dark comedy. If you don't like slightly off color humor you will not like this movie. If you like the odd and over the top this is definitely the movie for you. Martin Blank is a intriguing character that is perfect for John Cusack. Kind of a adult and lighter version of Heathers.

I saw this movie on my birthday approximately 5-7 years ago and it ruined my day.
