An amusing british comedy about a hit man (Bill Nighy) who can't seem to kill his latest job (Emily Blunt) who happens to be a thief. An innocent bystander (Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies) is suddenly brought into their predicament and its not too long after that his employer brings in another hitman to exterminate him. After a car chase and a few near misses the movie slows down a little to flesh out the characters so we learn more about them. When the movie speeds up it's not too bad but when the characters are waiting around then the script tends to slow to a crawl. There's just not that much going on. Still, having said that Bill Nighy was good in this role as was Emily Blunt. Rupert Grint on the other hand didn't really bring anything to the table. I thought that anybody could have played his role and it would have been fine. Worth watching for at least one time but more?, I don't know.
