Director : Jonathan Lynn
Running Time : 98 mins
Victor Maynard (Nighy) is an assassin for hire who is offered the job of killing Rose (Blunt), an art thief and con woman who has swindled a man named Ferguson (Everett) out of a valuable Rembrandt, but for some reason he decides to help her escape and, with the assistance of passerby Tony (Grint), the three of them find themselves on the run from another assassin, Hector Dixon (Freeman).
This was a fun movie, even if it wasn’t brilliant. The comic storyline may have had some holes in it, but the overall effect worked quite well in the long run. The performances are likeable, with Nighy remaining straight laced for the duration, Blunt being a believable kleptomaniac, and Grint a plausibly innocent victim, but I would have liked to have a bit more closure on the characters played by Everett and Fisher, who are just left in the hospital with no explanation for why they stop trying to have Blunt and Nighy killed and why they aren’t arrested.
