Une Pointe D'amour

Les bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques sèment le trouble dans les hôpitaux et sont mises sous haute surveillance par les autorités sanitaires. Existe-t-il des alternatives pour traiter des infections qui résistent aux antibiotiques ?

Most people have trouble deciding what to say when they're asked what they've been doing with their lives at a High School reunion, but Martin Blank (as played by John Cusack) has a different problem than most – he has to make his career sound less interesting than it actually is. Martin is a former CIA operative who is now a freelance hit man, making good money for killing people he doesn't know. However, Martin's game has been a bit off lately; he's no longer happy in his work, and both his secretary Marcella (Joan Cusack) and his psychiatrist, Dr. Oatman (Alan Arkin), who is more than a bit nervous about having a hired assassin as a patient, think that Martin should accept an offered assignment in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, his old home town, which would conveniently coincide with his ten year high school reunion. Grosse Pointe Blank was a pet project for star John Cusack, who co-wrote the screenplay and also served as co-producer.

Martin Blank is a freelance hitman who starts to develop a conscience, which causes him to muff a couple of routine assignments. On the advice of his secretary and his psychiatrist, he attends his 10th year High School reunion in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (a Detroit suburb where he's also contracted to kill someone). Hot on his tail are a couple of over-enthusiastic federal agents, another assassin who wants to kill him, and Grocer, an assassin who wants him to join an "Assassin's Union."

Le 24 décembre 1976, le prince Jean de Broglie, député de l'Eure et ancien ministre du général de Gaulle, est assassiné en pleine rue. Cinq jours plus tard, Michel Poniatowski, alors ministre de l'Intérieur, annonce à la télévision française que les coupables ont été arrêtés : le meurtre de Jean de Broglie a été commandité par ses associés, pour un mobile absurde, auquel personne ne croit…
