What aunt_zelda Thinks: Wild Target
Sep. 12th, 2011 05:44 pmI thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I laughed loads, loved the music choices, the acting and writing was superb, and the filmmakers reveled in the cartoonish nature of some of the scenes (i.e. the car chase, the cat.)
To be fair, they had me at "Bill Nighy." God, I love that man. He's so adorkable. The first half of this movie reminded me of The Girl in the Cafe more than anything. I just adore him, and this movie was yet another vehicle to encompass how adorkable Bill Nighy can be onscreen. *SQUEE*
To say nothing of the fetish fuel.OT3 fuel, GUNS, voyeurism, bodyguard crush, master/apprentice HoYay, kleptomaniac ethical slut who dresses in clothes that I want, assassins galore, art forgers, FOOT FETISH SCENE OH MY GOD ... seriously, Quentin Tarantino must love this movie, May December Romance, ... and oh the fact that he was gonna kill her but instead fell in love with her *fans self* oh dear, my dark kinks are showing.
Also, hello scruffy!Rupert Grint! *stares* My my.
Emily Blunt is very nice on the eyes as well. I'm forever mistaking her for Karen Gillian. Which means they're both very hot.
It did feel a little too short, and at times the comic violence was a bit much (poor Gregor Fisher. I want to give him a hug!) and I felt that they could have played up the OT3-ness a bit more and left things a little more ambiguous on the romance side. It's possible to watch it as a canon OT3 movie with Rose and Victor getting more of the screentime and the actual smex and Tony and Victor just getting buckets of HoYay ... and it sure is fun to view it as a canon OT3 movie. Mmmmmm, Tony/Victor/Rose ...
Check it out, it's a good, quick bit of mindless fun.
