Who on earth is voting up this worthless piece of junk?

Possibly the worst film since Battlefield Earth, Wild Target is unremittingly dreadful. The actors are fine, but the script could've been written by a 12 year old.

Wild Target is a ponderous, witless, steaming pile of dog's turd.

I've seen Carry On films with more wit and originality.

AVOID.

I really liked parts of it. It was messy as Hell and some parts didn't really work but it appealed to my sense of humour and apparently that of the audience too as there always seemed to be laughter.
Comedies are supposed to make people laugh, right?

There was complete silence in my cinema apart from when there were some well delivered lines by Rupert Everett.

Is this really the best that British cinema has to offer on general release FFS?!

Well, the strange thing about the cinema is that one audience can be completely silent throughout a film, while in the next showing people could almost fall off their chairs laughing. A very strange phenomena. People are afraid to be the only ones laughing at a scene.

But I do agree to a certain point: I thought the film had its moments, but in the end it was way too... weird. And I was completely grossed out by Victor and Rose's relationship. Bill Nighy could easily have played Emily Blunt's dad.

I think I need to take your review with a grain of salt - you've left well over 100 posts on a film called "Kick Ass."

So? Kick Ass was a very good film. Wild Target was rubbish. Have you seen either?

I enjoyed Wild Target, but I have to defend LocoHero on this one. Kick-Ass is a brilliant action/comedy film based on an even better comic series. I'm guessing you haven't seen it.

If you liked this film, go see a doctor quick - your head needs examining. Ask for a lobotomy.

Ahhhh.....carry on films......now your talking!

Oooh nurse, I need a bed bath as I've made rather a mess trying to sqeeze out the script for Wild Target that was stuck up my Khyber.

[–] LocoHero 13 years ago

Good one.

If I sh@t out Wild Target I'd be straight down A&E demanding a new @rse.

It wasn't THAT bad--not great, good enough to watch on a Saturday night.

The only part I laughed at was when the Harry Potter dude was cleaning the gun.

Emily looked very good in this movie though.

Agreed, I was baffled at this movie's poor script and execution. Not funny at all. The score is still way too high, it's like a bad joke.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)
