    High school reunions should only be this satisfying.

    With a brisk pace and satiric blend of nostalgia and violence, it's the sharpest, funniest comedy so far this year.

    The tone remains uneasily divided between lightly realistic character comedy and the darkest, chilliest kind of farce.

    John Cusak at his self absorbed best! This movie was nothing more than a pathetic attempt to return to the Better Off Dead success of Cusak...and failing miserably. Are we supposed to like a hired killer, even if he has a overplayed 80's soundtrack as a score?… Expand
