Wild Target Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's never a good idea to cast Bill Nighy as a buttoned-down hit man.
San Diego Reader
David Elliott
A few tart, amusing lines echo the fabled Kind Hearts and Coronets, yet this British movie based on a French farce falls into morbid silliness.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
All of this busyness drains away the film's charm, turning what might have been a naughty and whimsical frolic into something glib, hectic and sour.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Practically a text book in how ugly things can get when you don't have the right, light touch for this sort of thing.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The film has to fly by its wits -- and its witty lines -- and by the charm of its stars. This it does, just barely.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An eccentric little comic thriller filled with enough laughs that I was mostly willing to overlook the fact that it makes virtually no sense as a thriller.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Since irony is so often director Jonathan Lynn's weapon of choice, Wild Target should have been a good fit. It's not quite.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A very French 1993 farce gets a less comfortable British redo in Wild Target, a hectic, charm-challenged comedy about a fussy bachelor hitman who can't bring himself to off a winsome thief.
Observer
Rex Reed
Nothing works.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
Wild Target neatly and boringly makes a surrogate family out of its ill-matched trio of caricatures, and its epilogue of domesticity is enough to make you reach for your revolver.

Perri Nemiroff
It’s the cast of Wild Target that deserves all of the credit for they somehow managed to turn this mess not only into a watchable film, but a somewhat entertaining one, too.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Wild Target takes aim at various styles and genres and misses the mark every time.
Village Voice
Dan Kois
Wild Target is the kind of movie that actually uses that angry-cat-yowl sound. That is the kind of movie that Wild Target is.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
[An] unlovable, seldom funny Brit comedy.
Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
Attractive and charismatic actors can do nothing to save a movie that's charmless, pointless and witless.
What Would Toto Watch?
Christian Toto
Two delightful stars nudge Wild Target into sleeper territory - but only by a few inches.
IFC.com
Stephen Saito
"Wild Target" bears all the hallmarks of [director Jonathan] Lynn's best films, despite being, even at a tidy 90 minutes, a bit too long.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Wild Target is the sort of madcap comedy that breaks a sweat trying to generate a steady stream of laughs, but ... the film only works in fits and starts.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
"Wild Target" has fast, quippy dialogue and exactly the right actors to drive it home.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
When the various elements all fizzle, all we're left with is some likable actors trying their best to save a fading film.
