      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      An ineptly staged farce that dishonors the original film and squanders the comedic potential of its fine actors.

      E4123 It's unfunny, unmeaningful, and will leave you just as confused at the end as at the beginning. How it managed to score its talented cast is beyond me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Michael C This movie is not good at all, but I loved watching it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Mark B It should have been good. I was looking at my watch most of the time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Cork B It's cute and has that kind of offbeat English humor. Decently acted and shot, it is worth a watch. I am not sure why the ginger from Harry Potter is in this - the character seems extraneous, and the movie does veer off into silliness. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Nelo F Ich mag diesen Film sehr. Statt lautem Lachen ist hier ein dauerhaftes Schmunzeln angesagt. Es ist ein Film der gute Laune macht, obwohl er eigentlich ganz leise und dezent daher kommt. Der Humor ist hintergründig und fein, die schauspielerische Leistung hervorragend und natürlich. Dieser Film hat sich ohne Umwege in die Liste meiner Lieblingsfilme gespielt. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely brilliant trio. Made for each other. They bounce off of each other perfectly throughout the whole film. Fantastic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David Elliott San Diego Reader 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. Rated: 2/5 Nov 14, 2016 Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer The film has to fly by its wits -- and its witty lines -- and by the charm of its stars. This it does, just barely. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 18, 2010 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post It's never a good idea to cast Bill Nighy as a buttoned-down hit man. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 12, 2010 Full Review Christian Toto What Would Toto Watch? Two delightful stars nudge Wild Target into sleeper territory - but only by a few inches. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 12, 2011 Full Review Andreas Heinemann Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) ...mindless entertainment in a refined style. Rated: 3/5 Feb 3, 2011 Full Review Stephen Saito IFC.com "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.
