Well here’s one we all missed! Originally having a U.S. release in November last year and a UK release in June just gone, Wild Target is enjoying a limited re-release at the end of October. I’m surprised it hadn’t received more press attention, it certainly has a well known cast including Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Everett and Rupert Grint. I kinda feel sorry for Rupert Grint, he’s certainly putting himself out there, starring in four films, (besides the torrent of Harry Potter films) none of which have made any waves. I really hope he is able to shake the Ron Weasley persona once the films are put to bed.
Synopsis:
Bill Nighy is Victor Maynard, a middle-aged, solitary assassin, who lives to please his formidable mother, Louisa (Eileen Atkins), 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 (Emily Blunt). He spares her life, unexpectedly acquiring a young apprentice in the process, Tony (Rupert Grint). 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 (Rupert Everett).
