Despite a strong cast and a potentially intriguing plot, “Wild Target” struggles with pacing and some critics felt that the comedic elements did not always land. However, the interactions between characters are enjoyable, and it features several moments of genuine humor and wit. The movie appeals to those who enjoy a mix of action and comedy, with an underlying sweet, if unconventional, story of familial bonds and unexpected relationships.
