Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

SnoopyStyle Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy) is a lonely professional assassin trying to please his demanding mother (Eileen Atkins) in the family business. Rose (Emily Blunt) is a thief who cons Ferguson (Rupert Everett) out of a large sum. Ferguson hires Victor to kill Rose but he becomes fascinated by the relentless thief. Ferguson sends his thugs. Victor kills one and rescues Rose. They are then rescued by vagrant Tony (Rupert Grint) who shoots the other thug. She hires Victor for protection thinking he's a P.I. and together with Tony, they go on the run. Unbeknownst to them, they move in next door to Ferguson who then hires the second most expensive assassin Hector Dixon (Martin Freeman).Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt are trying their wacky best to be funny. It's an odd group along with Rupert Everett. There are some fun moments but mostly I want to love this trio more than I actually do. These are all good comedic actors but maybe a wacky comedian would be more helpful. It's a light screwball comedy with a few chuckles but lacks the big laughs to drive the unconvincing thriller.

jmholt87 Wild Target is a fun, but rather disjointed affair in which every moment of comedy is paired with a moment that is either too forced or too awkward. The biggest problem is that there are too many characters, many of which are played by fairly well known actors who often simply don't have enough to do in this relatively short movie.All of these problem however are masked by the two leads. The charm and charisma of Emily Blunt and the brilliance of Bill Nighy drive most of the humor, sell the concept of what is going on, and hold what would otherwise be a very disjointed film together.If you are looking for a good movie, good comedy, or some kind of gritty drama, this probably isn't the movie for you. If you are looking for a fun film, with a fair amount charm, that doesn't take itself too seriously, and especially if you are a fan of Bill Nighy, I would recommend checking it out.

FlashCallahan Victor Maynard is a middle-aged, solitary assassin, who lives to please his formidable mother, despite his own peerless reputation for lethal efficiency.His professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself drawn to one of his intended victims, Rose.He spares her life, unexpectedly acquiring in the process a young apprentice, Tony.Believing Victor to be a private detective, his two new companions tag along, while he attempts to thwart the murderous attentions of his unhappy client....This film should not work at all, and should be a career low for all involved, but somehow, the film manages to work, and all involved look like they are having fun whilst making this.In the age of British film, i was not expecting something as classy as 'a Fish Called Wanda', nor was I thinking this would be amusing.I was expecting a movie along the lines of 'carry on Columbus' or 'Alien Autopsy'.If you can swallow the fact that Nighy and Blunt fancy each other, you are in for a treat featuring a n eclectic cast of Brits.The two leads really are fantastic in this, and if it wasn't for the chemistry between the two, this would be heavily average, if anything can possibly be.Freeman plays a bit of a wideboy hit-man, which is a change, Grint plays a bit of a dunce, which isn't, and Everett seems to be playing the same character since Inspector Gadget.It's not a must see movie, but if you come across it on a cold Sunday afternoon, give it a go, it's worth it.

Drago_Head_Tilt Bill Nighy is a high-priced, mother-dominated, methodical and lonely assassin. He's hired to kill mischievous kleptomaniac Emily Blunt after she rips gangster Rupert Everett off with a forgery of a self-portrait by Rembrandt. Predictably, he ends up protecting her instead. Rupert Grint (from the HARRY POTTER series) is along for the ride as an apprentice. Old-fashioned crime farce is a remake of a French movie from 1993 (when the ideas might have seemed fresher), has a few scattered laughs, but overall the high quirk factor is debilitating. With Eileen Atkins as the wheelchair-bound mother, Martin Freeman as a rival assassin (with very white teeth), Gregory Fisher, Rory Kinnear and Geoff Bell.
