Review of Wild Target (2010) by Se7Enth A — 09 Feb 2011

Hilariously absurd and yet wildly entertaining heist film! Murder and silly mayhem goes hand in hand here. The characters are so rich in personality. Emily Blunt is absolutely perfect as the crafty free-spirited kleptomaniac. It was a treat to watch her strutting in an array of vivacious, gorgeous party dresses. This is my favorite Blunt's role to date.

Rupert Grint, a joy to watch after the Potter saga, he has a lot more to offer audiences than magic.

Everett makes a delicious cad. His comedic timing is impeccable.

I would pay to see Bill Nighy in anything. Taking on the role of a dry and droll assassin was plain brilliant, whose emotional signature is rationality and precision. Circumstances find him swept up in the tidal wave of chaos upon meeting his latest assignment. Even the dourest expression could dissolve me in fits of laughter.

English comedies really do have a style of their own. Finally a witty and satisfying comedy that could kill you with so much laughter without all that fart and barf jokes that Hollywood specializes.
