Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

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

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

Eve Maille 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!

beresfordjd This film is a treat - especially if you find Emily Blunt irresistible, as I do. She plays an amoral thief who becomes entangled with a professional assassin played brilliantly with fantastic comic timing by Bill Nighy. Nighy can make you hoot with small almost imperceptible mannerisms and expressions. A few of my favourite actors people this film - Martin Freeman, Eileen Atkins, Nighy and Gregor Fisher but even Rupert Everett, whom I cannot stand, does OK in this black comedy. Rupert Grint of Harry Potter fame shows that he can do more than Ron Weasley and has great timing too. Wild Target is a great piece of ensemble work that everyone should see.

chris dimarino Wild Target is a British comedy about an assassin who can't kill a woman and falls for her. That may sound derivative, but the fresh spin that is put on this situation, great acting and impressive character depth all contribute to this movies' success. Emily Blunt plays a swindler who gets in too deep with a man trying to buy a painting. She slips him a fake and that fuels him placing a hit on her which Bill Nighy receives. Bill Nighy is portrayed as a lonely and flat assassin who has killed his whole life. He begins to experience a mid life crisis and realizes that he hasn't lived, he's been too dedicated to work. Bill Nighy is renowned for his acting ability and it is on the mark here. He can flip a switch from quiet and gentle to frustrated and angry with ease. Emily Blunt does a great job playing a girl who is very extroverted and crooked. Rupert Grint provides the finish touch of levity to keep this movie from being serious, which hugely benefits this movie. I am a huge fan of British comedies so my views may be skewed, but I would recommend this movie to everyone who can take it lightly and like to laugh.
