CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

blanche-2 Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Eileen Atkins, Rupert Everett, and Martin Freeman star in "Wild Target," a 2010 remake of "Ciblé Émovante." And it's wonderful.When Rose (Blunt) switches a real Rembrandt for a fake, the victim (Everett) hires a professional hit man, Victor Maynard, to take her out. Just one problem. He keeps missing.It's a problem for Victor, whose father was a major assassin, and his mother (Atkins) expects another solid hit from her son. Victor then learns that because he's botched the job, someone else is after Rose. It then falls to Victor to protect her. Along the way he gets an accomplice (Grint) who thinks Victor is a private detective. Rose is hard to protect. She's a kleptomaniac, for one thing, and she has a mind of her own. The three of them wind up at Victor's house, where lots happens, none of which is planned.Very funny comedy, with all the actors in top form. It was great to see Martin Freeman of "Sherlock" doing something else, since I'm not a Smaug person. Nighy is great, deadly serious throughout, and not quite knowing how to handle his "wild target." Emily Blunt is perfect as his charge - devious, sexy, vulnerable, and with a ready smile.Reminiscent of the light British comedies we don't see any longer. A fun film and a great rental.

robinski34 Nice little British movie about art forgery, swindling and assassination, all good fun, with a strong cast. Bill Nighy is likable as ever, although convincingly cold-blooded at the requisite moments; Emily Blunt is suitably infuriating and adorable in equal measure; and Rupert Grint cements his Brit Pack credentials, although I'd like to see him in a more serious and 'gritty' role. There isn't much for Martin Freeman (nice teeth); Rupert Everett (nice stubble) or Gregor Fisher to do, but it's good to see them nonetheless. It all feels a bit rushed to me, and the end comes on very suddenly and is all a bit too convenient, leaving a sense that it could have been more substantial and interesting given a bit more effort on the storyline, enjoyable enough though if you have a forgiving nature, definitely worth a look.

nedpredgrupa It's basically a very good movie. It comes to me as refreshment after "Hollywood style comedies". though I must say I am not a huge fan of British movies (OK, good ones come now and then) but I really enjoyed it. OK, beginning is not that interesting (I almost turned it off) but as soon as Emily gets in the picture the movie kicks off and from than and it's as interesting as can be.Plot is very interesting with nice script and funny scenes and lines. Emily is just brilliant in this movie (as most of hers) and Ruppert Grint give such a funny note to film, his character is hilarious. Anyway, it's great thing to just kick back and relax, spend some 100 minutes on funny relaxing movie.

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.
