This black comedy is about a hitman who returns to his hometown to carry out a murder and arrives just in time for his high-school reunion. There he encounters the girl he stood up at the senior prom ten years earlier and, while trying to make amends, faces the problem of explaining where he has been and his current choice of profession. To make matters worse, two FBI heavies and a rival hitman are hot on his trail.

John Cusack is excellent as the morally ambiguous hitman who's struggling with memories of his teenage years, the girl he left behind and, of course, the enemies trying to kill him. With an impressive indie soundtrack, this black comedy drama is one of the most revered cult movies of the 1990s and a definite must-see.
