2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

merylmatt Yes, there are silly moments in this film. Expect some clichés and of course the plot is predictable. While not usually a fan of this genre, I enjoyed Wild Targets. Emily Blunt is sexy, funny and witty, pulls off her character of a con-artist very well. Bill Nighy is uptight, OCD, understated and funny. Rupert Grint is daft, clueless, naive but still manages to be funny as the third wheel between Emily and Bill. Great DVD Movie for a couples night out, no graphic violence (there are quite a few murders, but no blood).

two-cents-worth I remember movies I have seen as far back as the time I was 4 years old. While this ability is sometimes useful, it comes at a price. The movie I watch tonight is seen through the cumulative filter of the last 3 or 4 movies I have watched regardless of how long ago those movies were viewed. As a result, I often have to see a movie two, three or even four times before I can see it on its own merits. This is a movie that required several viewing.As is frequently the case, I had a poor opinion of the movie after the first viewing. But it was quirky enough to warrant subsequent viewings. With each subsequent viewing, the movie got better and better.I can now asses this movie for on its own and comfortably say it is quite entertaining.Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Grint all give the film the first rate performances we have come to expect from them. So too Martin Freeman as the smarmy, homicidal villain (compare this performance to those in Sherlock, The Hobbit and Dedication).To sum up, this is a quirky, amusing, and enjoyable film well worth the time, even if that means you have to watch it more than once.

Nici Bruckner What an utterly pointless film. I don't remember when i saw something more disjointed, where character development is assumed and clichéd, where the stars are called on simply to do their thing, without bothering to put together a strong script.The funny bits, aren't funny, the "I wonder what thats about they will explain it later?" bits are obvious and forced.The actors themselves, are fine, i pity they had to wallow through this muck. Terrible directing. Terrible editing.I am shocked this is currently rating at 6.8 its a total boredom fest.If only I could get me 2 hrs back, id have got nails hammered into my feet instead, would have been more enjoyable.Worst thing for me is I've seen the leads in other movies, where they played more or less the same roles, and they were awesome. Goes to show how at the mercy the actors from the creative team on a movie, and this team... wow. So rubbish.

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.
