Review of Wild Target (1993) by Melissa S — 30 Aug 2010
Cast: Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Eileen Atkins, Rupert Everett, Martin Freeman, Gregor Fisher, James O'Donnell.
Director: Jonathan Lynn.
Summary: When veteran hit man Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy) finds himself unable to kill his latest target, Rose (Emily Blunt), he winds up with an unexpected sidekick, Tony (Rupert Grint), who thinks Victor is a detective in this action-packed comedy from Britain. Now, with Rose and Tony tagging along, Victor tries to deal with the dual forces of his overbearing mother (Eileen Atkins) and a very angry client (Rupert Everett) who wants Rose dead.
My Thoughts: "I thoroughly enjoyed this film and found the story to be original and funny throughout. The characters are quirky with offbeat humour and just make the movie even more enjoyable. Billy Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Grint give terrific performances with a great supporting cast from Martin Freeman, Gregory Fisher and Eileen Atkins who make the most of their time on the screen. The movie is quite funny, in it being the characters, the dialogue, or just the predicaments they find themselves in. I really haven't enjoyed a film like this in awhile. It was a nice change from some of the other comedies I have seen of late. I found this one to be much smarter and done better. Just a great British comedy.".
