I just watched this today, its starring John Cusack, Mira Sorvino (i think?), Hillary Duff (who is awesome in it), Dan Akroyd, and the viceroy is someone I can't place, but he'd famous.

Its John Cusack's second hitman movie, and Grosse Point Blank is one of my all time favs so my expectations were high. But, the movie didn't live up to them.

However thats not to say its a bad movie. its a pretty good one, kind of a commentary on the power of corportions and private military. Its funny, its dramatic, sad, and there is a fair amount of bloodshed. If you have a netflix membership, check it out, its on instant now.

Good idea, bad execution.

It could have been so much more than it was.

Yeah I agree about the bad execution. THere were so many interesting things individually, the relationship with Jerry the Onstar guy, Hauser's past, explaining where he finally found the hot sauce...I dunno

Then the end was too pretty.
