Wild Target

 

Wild Target 2010

  • Director: Jonathan Lynn
  • Seen by this director: My Cousin Vinny
  • Based on a book: no
  • Cast: Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Morgan Freeman, Rupert Evert, Eileen Atkins
    • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
  • All of them - many
  • Why?  The cast.
  • Seen:  22 October 2024 

Victor (Nighy) is a professional hit man, like his father before him, with a mother (Atkins) who nags at him to get married at the age of 55, start a family and live up to the family heritage.

Rose (Blunt) deals in fake copies of classical art, for example Rembrandt.

Her latest, very unhappy customer (Evert) hires Victor to kill her. How much do you want to bet that they fall in love?

Of course it’s nonsense but it’s Nighy, Blunt, Grint, Freeman, Atkins and Evert, so how can it be anything but great wacky fun? And it’s in London.
