Wild Target 2010

Just finished watching this movie.. enjoyed and loved every second of it.. i might be overrating it because of my favorite actor Bill Nighy so i am not going to say a word about his acting, but still its a whole entertainment package. If you need anything to cheer up your mood i think this movie will do the trick. Emily Blunt has done an excellent job with her character, was very fluffy and charming with her words. Rupert Grint was as usual as Ron Weasley, no surprise there. Imdb rated it 6.8 where i rated 9. Here is imdb link - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235189/.

Story line ( imdb ) -

Victor Maynard is a middle-aged, solitary assassin, who lives to please his formidable mother, despite his own peerless reputation for lethal efficiency. His professional routine is interrupted when he finds himself drawn to one of his intended victims, Rose. He spares her life, unexpectedly acquiring in the process a young apprentice, Tony. Believing Victor to be a private detective, his two new companions tag along, while he attempts to thwart the murderous attentions of his unhappy client.

Cast
Bill Nighy as Victor Maynard: A middle aged hit man who is hired by Ferguson to kill Rose after she cons Ferguson out of £900,000. After missing an opportunity to shoot Rose, Ferguson sends his henchmen to do the deed. Victor kills one henchman and injures another when he is looking for Rose and, concealing his true profession, helps her escape with the help of nearby lay-about, Tony. He adopts Tony as his apprentice and Victor realizes he's fallen in love with Rose.

Emily Blunt as Rose: A bold con artist who oversteps the mark when she cons Ferguson out of £900,000 and fobs him off with a convincing copy of a Rembrandt self portrait. Realizing the danger she is in, she sticks with Victor and Tony in an attempt to escape her attempted assassination. Her mad-cap lifestyle takes a turn when she realizes her enjoyment of Victor's company.

Rupert Grint as Tony: A young man who witnesses Victor shooting Ferguson's bodyguard and decides to stick with Victor for safety. Victor employs him as an apprentice (with Tony thinking Victor is a private detective and later, upon learning Victor is a hit man, taking it in stride) and he soon realizes he has a 'killer instinct'.

Eileen Atkins as Louisa: Victor's formidable mother who, while impressed with his profession, is concerned as to what will happen to the family business.
Rupert Everett as Ferguson: A gangster who hires Victor to kill Rose.

Martin Freeman as Dixon: A sadistic assassin who plays second-fiddle to Victor Maynard. While in awe of Victor, Dixon jumps at the opportunity given to him by Ferguson to dispose of the greatest hit-man ever known.

Gregor Fisher as Mike: Ferguson's bumbling henchman whose several attempts to kill Victor, Rose, and Tony leave him in hospital ... and with one ear.

Geoff Bell as Fabian: Dixon's half-witted partner.

Emily Blunt Looked Stunning in the movie.

imdb user review -

If your taste is really obvious commercial and/or big budget comedies then this might not be for you but if you have a soft spot for classic British comedies that are a bit quirky, don't try to hard then this should definitely be up your street.

It has an excellent cast that all play their characters perfectly although very typically.

Rupert Everett is predictably his usual self as is Bill Nighy but both quite excellently so.

I've seen a couple of negative reviews of this movie but it needs to be emphasised that it's not a mass market comedy. The story is great and the timing of some of the jokes is absolutely perfect.

This is actually one of the few films I'd like to own a copy of when it's released.

i love this kind of serious look of him. i think i might be gay for him. Lol.

Here is the movie trailer.
