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.

It's hard to tell what Wild Target is offering, besides the pleasure of its company.

The cast, though, includes a great bunch of Brit faves who have all done better work elsewhere.

Nighy is usually a treat to watch navigating life's bad turns, so it's especially frustrating that the filmmaker so often leaves him at loose ends.

The considerable wit, style, and skill that Mr. Nighy and Ms. Blunt bring to the project are squandered.
