Wild Target

It's interesting and there is a lot of potential here but for the following reasons it's held back. The cinematography is just ok. Nothing is really shot memorable, the locations aren't that memorable, and it has quite a bit of farfetched scenes in it at times. Aside from that everything else is half decent about it. The music at first is kind of awesome but for some werid reason as this goes on it uses less and less of it and when it does it uses more generic tracks that are very forgettable and just blend in. Than it doesn't use it enough in the second half on top of that. The main character is very wooden, stock, and kind of forgettable despite being the main focus. Grint...honestly he;s ok but I don't really know why he's here. If you take him out there really isn't anything lost. The villians are forgettable also. Blunt isn't bad and is probably the best thing in this. The jokes are very hit or miss. Sometimes they get a good laugh out of nowhere with the quirky british humor and other times I'm scratching my head. This also has a weird tone problem at times. It's a comedy while also a screwball Rom Com with a heist thriller element to it but it never makes it work in a cohesive way tone wise. The story makes perfect sense and is a clever setup (though fafetched at certain points) but it tries at points to be a bit too dark and played not even too straight but too emotionless at times save for Blunt who gets the most laughs. This needed to be a bit more light hearted and bubbly with it's humor, stay focused on the two main leads, and have less farfetched/dumb scenes in it. There is quite a bit of potential here that works more than it fails. A testament to the strength of the underlying idea. But for the most part this is something that really only fans of any actors in this or someone who wants something really quirky and out of left field.

It's unfunny, unmeaningful, and will leave you just as confused at the end as at the beginning. How it managed to score its talented cast is beyond me.

This movie is not good at all, but I loved watching it.

It should have been good. I was looking at my watch most of the time.

It's cute and has that kind of offbeat English humor. Decently acted and shot, it is worth a watch. I am not sure why the ginger from Harry Potter is in this - the character seems extraneous, and the movie does veer off into silliness.

Ich mag diesen Film sehr. Statt lautem Lachen ist hier ein dauerhaftes Schmunzeln angesagt. Es ist ein Film der gute Laune macht, obwohl er eigentlich ganz leise und dezent daher kommt. Der Humor ist hintergründig und fein, die schauspielerische Leistung hervorragend und natürlich. Dieser Film hat sich ohne Umwege in die Liste meiner Lieblingsfilme gespielt.

Absolutely brilliant trio. Made for each other. They bounce off of each other perfectly throughout the whole film. Fantastic

Pretty good English flavor hitman falls for mark movie, doesn't take itself too seriously, but not super exciting or overly special. Keep in library, but don't know if need to rewatch.

Semplicemente fastidioso, nei personaggi, dei dialoghi (con poche eccezioni) e nelle azioni. Il buono della trama tratta dal romanzo, viene assolutamente soverchiato da una serie di dialoghi mal riusciti e di personaggi con poco da dire.

Shamelessly silly, yet entertaining. All brought solid (if a little stock) performances, and the pleasure of watching Bill N using eyes, eyebrows and head ticks to great effect stole more than one scene. Emily B, is superb.
