Wild Target! I always wanted to watch this! You made my evening, so thanks for sharing, Mattlocked!

Pleasure. 
Never heard of it before, but it sounds quite good, so we will give it a try now.

Oh my gosh, yes!! 
Reading the subject, I thought maybe talking about a talk show and was all 'hmm?' at the names. The first mention of it being a movie with those three, I immediately thought of Wild Target! I never heard of it either until I started looking up stuff Martin was in, and been meaning to get to it for ages, too! Finally found a copy of it through my library, and looked hilarious (and a very different Martin). 
Cool to hear of others stumbling across…. We'll have to give thoughts when done….

And it started directly with (Reichenbach-)Fall.
Funny, I really liked it!

naaah, Dixon just died. Kind of awkward, if you ask me. I enjoyed the film very much and had a good laugh at some scenes. For example, "Or I will cut off your finger and make you swallow it."

"Who did this painting?" "Rembrandt" "Tell me his address" "He's dead." "Since when??"

Martin's expression was priceless

The Hobbit and Wild Target....... slight Martin overkill today. Time for bed. Good night! (Wonder if I find someone for a nice foot massage now...)

Thanks for recommending this film. It was quite funny, and interesting to see Martin in the role of a bad guy. Also he looked very elegant in that suit.

He’s got a dog. We go to the pub on weekends. I’ve met his mum and dad …
… and his friends and all his family and I’ve no idea why I’m telling you this.

Re: Wild Target - Bill Nighy, Rupert Grint and Martin Freeman on German tv
Yay! So, finally watched the copy I borrowed of it, too, after discovering this flick thanks to a thread here and then hearing about how you all enjoyed it. And I gotta say - it's awesomely hilarious seeing Martin in that role, not to mention how great the main trio are. Weren't they? Even though some of the best snippets were Martin. ;)
Also enjoyed the well-done selection of catchy tunes, which can often make a scene, as well… especially the ending one, which I left the credits rolling just to listen to the whole thing, and to get down to the song credits to see who it was. And as I'm curiously perusing the list of people/places they put in the 'special thanks' section as it went by as well, I see an even more amusing trivia gem --
"Special Thanks - Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford - for use of 'Paul Cezanne Near Auvers-sur-Oise' oil on canvas, 46x55cm. This painting was stolen on 1 January 2000 and has not been recovered."
Um…. wonder what constituted 'use' of it, if it was stolen? Thoughts? Maybe just the appearance of such a painting, considering the clever tie-in with a thief/art restorer having a 'stolen' painting seen in the room.
(and Mattlocked - one of my favorite lines!)
