Movie #627 .........................."Wild Target"

Movie #627 "Wild Target" is a very black humor film --- dark comedy ---- as many people shot dead as car chases. But it's a stitch --- a comedy, more than a thriller, that slows down about 1 hour into it, and starts to become a love story. But the characters are very capable and very funny ---- what with Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Ron Weasley from Harry Potter films. There's a hysterical parrot, a gun toting mother, quirky con artists, and lots of laughs. I enjoyed it all the way through, but the people I was watching the film with had mixed emotions (one fell asleep and said it got slow halfway through......) but I still thought it worked out (some critics disagreed, others agreed, so there's a controversy as to just how successful this film really is) I vote on the side of: talented cast, quirky plot, hysterical car chases and mayhem (song sung appropriately at the end), and I found it most enjoyable!
