A perfect pairing of sound & vision. Grosse Point Blank.


Martin Blank is back in the town he grew up in for his high school reunion. Martin is also an accomplished hitman who has pissed off a lot of people in his time. One of them decides to turn up during the reunion and havoc ensues. A scene that goes from nostalgic to action packed to vicious in the space of a minute. Watch it below.



It's a perfect combination of music and visuals. A brutally realistic scrap a million miles from the wrestles and slaps of a normal school fight all played out to the sounds of Mirror In The Bathroom by The Beat which seems to suit the onscreen action perfectly. Even better is the fact that we can clearly see John Cusack doing all his own stunts. And better still is the chap he's fighting is Benny Urquidez, an accomplished fighter and movie choreographer who trains him in martial arts in real life. Watch the rest of the scene here 

Remember the good old times when John Cusack made must see movies. I miss those days.
