Country: US
Technical: col 107m
Director: George Armitage
Cast: John Cusack, Minnie Driver, Dan Aykroyd, Alan Arkin, Joan Cusack
Synopsis:
An independent-minded contract killer resists the overtures of a colleague in the business to form a guild of co-workers and confides his nascent professional unease to his analyst. Meanwhile an invitation to attend his ten-year high school reunion threatens to collide the personal and professional crises in his life.
Review:
Engaging mix of violent black comedy with romance (Driver on superb form in her first big US role) which recalls Pierre Salvadori's Cible Emouvante. There is a canny injection of topical 80s music and most of the Cusack family seem to be involved. An entirely absent police force epitomizes the cavalier approach towards morality.
