Comment
A professional hitman (Bill Nighy) takes a job to kill a a young woman (Emily Blunt) who is a thief, but ends protecting her from another hitman (Martin Freeman) and taking a young man (Rupert Grint) under his wing as an apprentice. This is a wonderfully entertaing and darkly comic British film. The script moves with pace, there are plot twists, and there are some well filmed scenes supported by some good comic scenes. Even though most of the characters are killers you do feel some empathy for them.
