Wild Target

• Action
• Comedy

A distinctly whimsical and darkly comedic take on the hitman genre, *Wild Target* centers on a meticulous assassin whose rigidly controlled life is delightfully derailed by an unexpected connection with a potential target and a naive young man seeking mentorship. The film isn’t about the thrill of the kill, but the unsettling comfort of routine shattered – specifically, an assassin’s codependent relationship with his overbearing mother, which complicates every attempt at professional distance and fuels a peculiar yearning for connection. As he attempts to protect the woman he was hired to eliminate, and simultaneously navigate his apprentice’s earnest attempts to learn the ‘detective’ trade, the narrative unfolds as a charmingly chaotic exploration of loneliness, misplaced affection, and the absurdity of violence undertaken with impeccable manners.
