Recommended reason: that kind of sullen and funny British demeanor is really refreshing for me who has been spoiled by Hollywood.

Looking back, I The preference for killer movies should have started with Alain Delon.
Yes, unless you have a complete amnesia, which woman can forget "The Lone Killer"?
He is so handsome, cold, and silent, and his upper lip is shaped like a bow, which makes people want to kiss—just like kissing loneliness itself.
Of course, I am not always so superficial. I will also think existentially after watching "The Killer Has No Holiday", and fall in love with Uncle Leon, who is not beautiful at all in "This Killer Is Not So Cold", I You can also make a polite summary as follows: In essence, the charm of a killer lies in its inherent paradox, that is, his existence must be guaranteed by his thin presence.
Victor, the protagonist of the movie "Wild Target", is such a thin-existing killer.
The ordinary looks, the ordinary figure, and even his moustache are also extraordinary, all of which ensure that he is the top killer in London, an infallible killer.
Afterwards, as the narrative zoomed in, his details emerged one by one
-
fifty-four years old, unmarried, the only heir to a killer family, knew seventeen ways to suffocate, and his seven-year-old birthday gift was a Beretta. pistol.
He is lonely, stereotyped, and alienated, but he is fond of fine Burgundy wine, uses a silk handkerchief, teaches himself French, and raises a white Persian cat.
So when the thief rose in red and entered the camera with an arrogant and dexterous attitude, I knew that, well, Victor will definitely be commissioned to kill her, and will definitely miss her, and then, will definitely fall in love with her. ——He must fall in love with her. Because he really needs an exception too much.
Sometimes I think, will the killer wait for an exception throughout his life?
That was a moment that was not in the plan. His heart softly softened and collapsed gently, leaving a gap, allowing people to take advantage of the void.
Since then, he has been rich, three-dimensional, full, but also finished (Killer Leon is a good example).
But "Wild Target" doesn't want to be sad, it's a deliberate arrogance.
It allowed the situation to get out of control, and rushed all the way to the end of the full moon. The bad guys humiliated and the lovers finally got married. It was such a vulgar routine.
It's actually the most difficult thing to be able to make a good-looking shot of a cliché.
Among them, the black humor is the most important thing, the kind of sullen and funny British style, really makes my eyes and eyes spoiled by Hollywood cool.
It’s just a comparison. American humor tends to become inferior, while French humor becomes funny if you are not careful. Only British humor has a unique matte feeling, the kind of coolness that remains cold and alienated even if you are entertained. Sex, you can't find it in the movies of other countries.
I also have to admit that Emily Blunt is indeed a promising actor.
Among the actresses of the current era, she is probably the one who can control that kind of "little bitch" temperament so easily.
The heroine Rose is frivolous and low-taste, but she is light and graceful as a thief, as straight as the clouds and flowing water, and as a woman, she is fresh, vigorous, and extremely charming.
She is the opposite of Victor, like the wind is to the earth.
Such a fanciful thief is undoubtedly the greatest and sweetest Brownian movement he has encountered in his life for the academic killer.
The drama of the killer lies in the complete marginalization of his identity.
And then, his loneliness, danger, and ability to pass misfortune without any damage, became the reason why we fell in love with him.
Following this path, the rose acts as our probe, revealing the hidden inside of the killer inch by inch.
So we know that his loneliness is only out of shyness, his rigidity is only out of anxiety, we can no longer blame him, it is too late for us to love him.
And it was precisely because of Bill Nye's old and spicy performance that Victor was not just interpreted as an old man waiting to be redeemed. He was much richer and stronger.
The timing and circumstances of Victor's encounter with Rose are not necessarily the best.
But because that is the right woman, a woman who can balance him, so anything and any relationship between them will work.
And when I remember that Alan Deron, who was much more handsome, shot and bleeds at the end of "The Lone Killer", covered his chest with a white glove, and fell to the ground, my heart hurts terribly. I always keep repeating Thinking and sighing again and again: "What a pity, he didn't meet the right rose."
