Wild Target (2010)

In the heart of London thrives Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy), a solitary, seasoned assassin of fifty-four years, with an impeccable professional legacy that traces back to a lineage of killers. Despite his chilling efficiency, Victor is bound by the need to please his demanding mother, Louisa (Dame Eileen Atkins), who frets over the family's dark reputation. Acclaimed as the city's most lethal and high-priced hitman, Victor's world is spun into chaos when he crosses paths with Rose (Emily Blunt), a captivating thief who dupes formidable gangster Ferguson (Rupert Everett) by selling him a counterfeit Rembrandt. Contracted to extinguish Rose, Victor finds himself inexplicably drawn towards her, a fascination that disrupts his methodical life and compels him to spare her existence. In a twist of fate, a failed attempt to kill Rose in a parking garage introduces Victor to the unsuspecting car washer, Tony (Rupert Grint). Spotting potential in Tony, Victor takes him under his deadly wing as an apprentice, while both Rose and Tony misconstrue Victor's profession as a private detective. As they dodge Ferguson's relentless bodyguards and two sadistic killers commissioned to hunt them down, Victor, Rose, and Tony form an unusual trio on the run. With his mother's pressures mounting and his client's murderous intentions looming, Victor finds himself in an unanticipated role of protector, drawn into a dangerous dance with Rose. What unfolds is a thrilling, wild chase through London's underbelly, with an unlikely bond forming amid the chaos. Will Victor manage to shield Rose and Tony while maintaining his deadly reputation? In the world of Wild Target, it's kill or be killed. But for Victor and Rose, it seems they might just be made for each other.
