Wild Target is a remake of Pierre Salvadori's 1993 Cible émouvante. I haven't seen the french original, but as I've been told Emily Blunt is enough of a reason to watch any movie I had to check this out. Victor (Nighy) is a very skilled assassin, but haven't much of a social life besides his mother. Now hired to kill the young and bold thief Rose (Blunt), faith steps in and throw two new people into his life. Rose herself and Tony (Grint), a young man intervening when a second set of assassins steps in. Tony seems like the perfect apprentice to take over the family business as top notch hit-men, and we get to be part of the ride as Victor teaches Tony, while protecting Rose as her P.I. bodyguard.Sadly most of the movie feels a little to slow, both in action sequences and character evolving, and the funny parts ain't funny enough. Blunt and Nighy still makes it interesting enough to stick through it, but it feels like another of those movies with more quality left in the editing room or even at the set.
