Critic Reviews for Cible émouvante (Wild Target)
All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)
Wild Target retains its charm almost two decades on, but the premature deaths of Rochefort's two young co-stars in the intervening years gives the film an unexpected poignancy.
The opportunity for a glorious salvo at the inadequacy of killers is largely lost.
Audience Reviews for Cible émouvante (Wild Target)
It's about as good as the remake which also wasn't very good.
Super Reviewer
Jean Rochefort (The Phantom of Liberty) plays Victor Meynard, a 55 year-old professional killer; but he is starting to lose his touch. He is unmarried, and trying to learn the English language, as well as tending to his Dwarf Ulanus plant, and paying visits to his eccentric mother. During a hit, Victor stumbles upon a timid young man named Antoine, and decides not to kill him, but learn him the art of killing people in different ways. Victor is then hired to kill a femme fatale named Renee, who has ripped off a mobster. Chaos ensues when Victor is prevented from killing her by another hitman, and he decides to take Renee to his house, along with Antoine. The three of them then hide out there. The three characters are good together, and the film moves along at a good pace. It is an entertaining and funny film to watch and never dull.
