Grosse Point Blank is like an early concept of HBO's Barry. *Spoilers for both

I recently rewatched this movie and also recently finished Barry season 4, and it never even occurred to me the similarities between the 2.

Grosse Pointe Blank is about a former army man turned professional assassin who feels something is missing, and also has a confidant played by a chubby funny man, this time Dan Akroyd. Barry fans, this sounding a little familiar?

It's also a great movie, John Cusack is likable in it and Minnie Driver is adorable as usual.
