Film: 'Grosse Point Blank'

Life as a hitman can be hard, especially when it's your job to lay waste to your true love's father. But John Cusack's character doesn't break a sweat. Plus he manages to prove the writing implement is deadlier than the sword long before Heath Ledger's Joker.

Killer quote:

Martin Q. Blank: "If they've double-booked the job, and/or they're going to kill me, I'd like to know. If you could find that out, that'd be great."
