You either have a soft spot for movies like Wild Target, or you don't. (My spot is over easy--pretty soft, in other words.) Wild Target is a whimsical Britcom, the kind of movie that might've been considered a black comedy back in the '80s but is really more of a charcoal gray--it's more sweetly quaint than anything else. It's about a career hitman named Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy, redefining brittle) who's never made time for anything other than his work. He lives with his mother (Eileen Atkins), he doesn't have any real friends, he's possibly gay--and he's just been given the toughest job of his career. Who knows: maybe he'll learn... to love? by Ned Lannamann
