That looks pretty cool. Is it meant to be a sequel of sorts to Grosse Point Blank, or does it just have John & Joan Cusack in a similar role with a cameo by Dan Akroyd?

Looks good, though it feels like it is fighting between far-fetched comedy and spoof. Hopefully the film will be a bit more clear but mixing the two makes the comedy feel forced as you are trying to laugh at two different levels.

I would say Grosse Point Blank was easily in far-fetched comedy as alot of the stuff John Cusack is. But this felt too much like Austin Powers at times in that trailer.

Call me a perfectionist if you like but comedy that meshes styles often ends up annoying.
