Bill gets some romance at last. - Wild Target review by NC
Good little Brit film. No weak links in chain as all parts played professionally. Flows along pretty tight. Bill is a bit old for Emily, but good luck to him.
Throw backs to when Eric Sykes was a hit man. Some vague character set-ups to Fish Called Wanda perhaps?
All in all is well worth a watch..............

Excellent British film - Wild Target review by Jamielou
Saw a preview of this on a trailer for something else and was surprised I'd never heard of it before as it came out a while ago. It's a decent film, shades of Grosse Point Blank which is never a bad thing. Bill Nighy is excellent as a hitman who can't quite bring himself to fulfill his latest job, and the rest of the cast is excellent including some "cameos" of people you'd never expect in this kind of film. Well worth a look and would definitely watch it again.

Wild brilliance - Wild Target review by CP Customer
Bill Nighy plays a blinder in this film. I was not looking forward to watching it, but it is extremely watchable and a bit difference. Funny and I am surprised I have not read more of this film in the papers.
