Very well executed

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

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

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

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.

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).

This is my favourite movie! I think the actors made an incredible job and the director too. I have to say, I envy a lot Emily's wardrobe in this movie, thumbs up to the stylist! She's always wearing something different and original. The best thing about this movie is the different characters and their outstanding personalities. They each have a very different and uncommon way of thinking, they're authentic in everything they do! The songs in the movie are also very British which helps to create a good atmosphere in the motion picture. Perhaps the fact that most of the actors are well-know and famous British actors makes the movie an absolute must-Watch!

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.
