A great black comedy / rom-com... with hit-men!

This is one I'm looking out for to get again on DVD, as it is great fun, and also, at the distance of some years now, notable for pre-figuring the Bourne Identity for an astonishingly realistic / brutal fight sequence.

Basically, it centres around a troubled hit-man going back home for his school reunion of all things, where he confronts the girl he ditched to run off and join the army many years back, and all the people he used to go to school with: "And what do you do now Martin?".... "...er..." :)

...Unfortunately, his present occupation follows him back there in the shape of government officials, and and assortment of deranged fellow hit men, one of which, Dan Akroyd, is trying to get him to join a hit-men's union... or die. :)

Great fun, and a bit of a nineties classic now I'd say.
