When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Yes, there are silly moments in this film. Expect some clichés and of course the plot is predictable. While not usually a fan of this genre, I enjoyed Wild Targets. Emily Blunt is sexy, funny and witty, pulls off her character of a con-artist very well. Bill Nighy is uptight, OCD, understated and funny. Rupert Grint is daft, clueless, naive but still manages to be funny as the third wheel between Emily and Bill. Great DVD Movie for a couples night out, no graphic violence (there are quite a few murders, but no blood).

What a delightful,delightful fun-filled movie. British humor (notice I left off the extra "u"?) at it's very best.Everything clicks for a fun time: the plot, the script, the actors, the director, on down to the final editing.There's not too much I can add that others haven's already said in fine fashion. Except, perhaps for this: I'm now a geezer -- ie., a retired guy -- and I think Wild Target is just as funny to me today as if I were seeing it for the first time 35 or 40 years earlier.The reason why is because the twists, turns and shifts in the story line aren't predictable. But they're logical within the context of the evolving story. And they're really funny.In all too many "comedies" today, the audience just knows what's gonna happen next. It's formula stuff. It happens as expected, and we're supposed to think it's funny. Too many times, we just yawn and hope it gets better.You're not going to have that experience with "Wild Target."

The title clearly shows what we'll get from this extraordinary comedy. Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy give a rich and refined performance and the screenplay is simply gorgeous. Casting, cameras, costume, locations, punch lines: congratulations to all the team. A British must!So why a few stars missing? The music has its ups and downs. Good choice of songs but a main soundtrack is missing Some specific chapters lack musical support to be really effective. The speedy cameras on the car chases are definitely avoidable. Details that perhaps the director could have reconsidered... Still a wonderful, enjoyable film.

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.
