Wild Target

Decent british low budget comedy. Although plot is predictable as it can be, actors did great job(well most of them). Biggest minus is plot and loose ends.

This one has the potential to be right next to Shoot 'em Up - it is equally ridiculous and fun but is missing just that final touch to take it to 11

The surrogate family schtick is a little contrived, but mostly enjoyable (aside from the inevitable romance that didn't feel quite right in its huge age gap), thanks to a great set of amusingly contrasting characters played with charm and wit by the three leads (Freeman's devilish bad guy is great as well). A simple on-the-run romp plot brings lots of slapstick laughs in addition to a delightful thread of dark comedy surrounding the central "hitman with a heart" and his family business.

kinda funny parts in this one, but overall it was too stupid to be a really good movie

Utterly charming comedy with some delightful eccentric touches, including an inspired comic and kooky performance by Blunt. Nighy is also wonderful and unusually restrained; Grint is least interesting, but still fine. Also benefits from offbeat casting of Freeman as ever-grinning killer, and accident prone Fisher, who reminded me of Ray "Bones" in GET SHORTY. Director Lynn keeps things bubbling along nicely, and imbues the film with a welcome shot of genuine sweetness.

Has some good humor and interesting characters. Bill Nighy is perfect as an eccentric hitman. The romance angle felt unnatural and weird, though.

Some moments of great comedy, but a few mindboggling plotholes as well.

I generally like Nighy and Blunt is hawt + plus strange to see Everett's plastic face. Decent silly entertainment (reminiscent of RED also from 2010, but slightly better) that borders on the annoying and crosses that line a few times.

Time after time witty script, but basicly this was pretty predictable story. Some memorable scenes, though mostly easy to forget. I also paid attention on loose ends. Shame on you.

Very basic plot, but the mildly dark humor and simplicity made this quite charming.

This is hilarious. A great witty comedy done on a low budget. The plot's predictable, but that doesn't detract from the film at all. I never new Bill Nighy was a comic genius.

73 but Bill Night is still good

I had a fucking good time.

Farcical British comedy that isn't funny. A great cast completely wasted with such a weak script and poor direction.

eng; [wild target]; ein killer kann eine diebin nicht töten, stattdessen verliebt er sich in sie und versucht sie zu beschützen.;

Very cheap comedy, just the way i hate it.. Even Emily Blunt's cuteness couldn't save this one, Grint's characters dialogs were so stupid.. For me it was quite a boring watch

Aslında vasat film fakat enteresan bir çekiciliği var ve bu yanı sayesinde hiç sıkılmadan filmi bitirmenizi sağlıyor. Zaman zaman gerçekten komik sahneleri var ve film genel olarak eğlenceli, Emily Blunt ise her zamanki gibi çok güzel. Sıkılmadan 1.5 saat vaat ediyor kısacası daha fazlası değil.

It's not perfect but Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt help make this a fun and enjoyable comedy.

"Wild Target neatly and boringly makes a surrogate family out of its ill-matched trio of caricatures, and its epilogue of domesticity is enough to make you reach for your revolver." - Bill Weber

The first half was terribly annoying, the second half was OK. No depth to the characters, none of which are likable, nor to the plot. Emily Blunt is the worst, and more so than ever in this film. I don't really know why this film exists.

This film starts off well but it ends up loosing steam. The script could have used a rewrite. The cast tries their best but can't overcome the limitations of the script. Overall this movie is disappointing.

Some moments of dark humour but overall quite dull. Disappointing because a solid cast list but It felt like a fill in film - actors do between worthy jobs

Great pun on the expression: Half now - half later! very funny and somewhat eccentric. However, the ending was a bit disappointing.

Most of the characters are derivative and the plot lacks some of the thrill needed for the genre. Grint seems almost like an afterthought and Blunt is a tad boorish, despite her character's quirks. However, the restraint in Nighy's performance showcases a graceful strength that gives the film it's charm. His hitman expertise and attention to detail (mixed with anti-social tendencies) lend to an exhibition that could be described as a light, humorous deconstruction of Léon from The Professional.

Don't remember it too well. Story must have been a little unbalanced at times, but Wild Target is carried on my the leading roles.

I've seen several great Hitman comedies: Hitman, Kill me Later, You Kill Me... This doesn't top them, but it's certainly in the zone!

Remake of the 1993 French film Cible émouvante. Bill Nighy looks effortlessly cool in a suit. Emily Blunt is cute and has good comedic timing. But story and comedy is lost translation.

Güzel sahneler var ama o kadar da iyi değil doğrusu

Martin Freeman's greatness sadly couldn't improve or save this one.
