I've loved this movie since the first time I saw it in theathers and it's the movie that made John Cusak and Minnie Driver two of my all time favourite actors.

Martin Blank (Cusack) and is a hitman with some emotional problems. He goes to a shrink (Arkin) who doesn't want him, and has had recurring dreams about his long lost love (Driver) for 10 years since he stood her up on Prom night. When Blank gets an invitation to his School reunion he is originally dead against the idea, but when he is hired for a job in his home town he is forced to return home, and to face some old truths.
