Wild Target (2010 Jonathan Lynn)

Fabulous, underrated, unknown remake of Pierre Salvadori's Cible émouvante in which Bill Nighy has much fun as a repressed but totally professional assassin ordered to bump off cheeky kleptomaniac Emily Blunt - naturally he develops problems about this course of action, and things become more confused when they become involved with Rupert Grint (who holds his own well). Martin Freeman is also great fun as another assassin. With Eileen Atkins.

Lucinda Coxon adapted it - apparently the original is somewhat darker.

Emily makes me smile.
