Empire Review Great Point Blank - 3.75 out of 5  (4/3/2000) "Gross Point Blank" is a killer comedy that hits the mark as Cusack is right on target to make a powerful action comedy. There!

I couldn't seem to find anyone to see it with. Too bad for them. This has to be one of the funniest dark comedies I've seen in ages. I am fairly new to DVD, so I cannot comment on the technology much. All I know is what I can see and hear, and I noticed no obvious problems on this disc. The movie is top rate. The inclusion of a stand-up "DOOM" arcade game was quite interesting as well. Especially seeing how it was used in the   more >>
