The movie Target List is a thrilling and entertaining ride, blending action and comedy while shedding light on the fraudulent medical health system and the need for alternative cures. The endearing protagonists, Donna and Clyde, have a captivating chemistry that adds to the enjoyment of the film, leaving the audience wanting more. Target List maintains its serious subject while the director cleverly weaves in comic twists to alleviate tension. The talented cast delivers an outstanding performance, and the plot's ingenuity keeps the audience hooked. The film's satisfying climax sees the triumph of good over evil. Both the writers and directors, masterfully justify the plotline.
In Target List, we get a movie that delivers nonstop action, adventure, and cleverly timed moments of comic relief. Starring Rachel Alig and Justin Ray, this independent flick is all about the dirty deeds of a fictitious pharmaceutical company (Orphium) that hires an assassin to thwart the efforts of a creative team of doctors and scientists and their cancer-curing device called WAND.
Produced by Mad Wife Productions, Target List entertains and delights from beginning to end. The fictional story delivers a critical message to its audience by talking candidly about big medicine and the drug industry.
I almost got the idea from the film's writers that Target List is more about truth than fiction. The production gives movie enthusiasts an inside look at what probably happens in real life and behind the scenes of corporate medicine.
Is modern health care concerned with getting people well or keeping them sick indefinitely to profit from diseases never intended to be eradicated by big science, big pharma, or any other corporate entities? This is what Target List is suggesting to its viewers.
This is a timely film, and the movie addresses a subject in many people's minds. Running at 100 minutes, Target List is a gem, and I am glad I could watch it with my family.

I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to make an exception this time for two reasons. First, I don't know who these Karens are who left 1-star and 2-star ratings? Neither the plot or the quality of this film deserve a rating like that!
These Karens clearly had alternative motives to give this film such a low rating and their reviews should be considered as valid as Karens' general motions in life.
The second reason I wanted to review this film is because I was truly impressed with everything. The plot was entertaining and suspenseful. The chemistry between the two main characters was great. Granted, they turned out to be more loveable buffoons than first thought but I think it worked well to counterbalance the big pharma conspiracy and the unimaginable cure for all cancers that was a major part of this film. The film is also very high quality and it was pleasant to watch it.
Overall, I gave this 9 stars because it genuinely deserves it and because I will watch it again and again and again and it is difficult to find films that are worth my time to do that.
As for the Karens who think this film deserves the lowest rating you can give to a film, don't use this platform to spread your negative opinions, there are no managers here!

Target List may not be a big budget Hollywood movie, but it does feel like everyone involved was giving it their all, from the actors to the director and everyone behind the camera. It looked good from scene to scene and about as well-shot and edited as a movie from a larger studio might be. The chemistry between the two leads, Rachel Alig and Justin Ray, is very charming. They have a kind of bumbling, comedic energy of two people way too deep in a situation they don't know anything about. It actually reminded me a little of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I just wish that had been the vibe from the get-go.
It's marketed as a crime/action movie but there really isn't a lot of action. The beginning really sets it up as a more serious action kind of movie, but there are a few gunshots here and there, a couple of pretty short chases, and that's about it. And not all of the dramatic plot points hold water under scrutiny. Then, once Donna (Alig) and Clyde (Ray) get together on the run, it clearly goes for laughs rather than tension or even logic.
All in all, I wish that either the comedy had hit harder throughout the whole movie, or that the action elements had been bigger. Even so, it wasn't a bad time! It's not exactly high-octane action, and some of the logic falls flat, but for all that, it is still fun to watch the characters run around and get out of wild situations by a wing and a prayer. So, for a pretty fun time, go for Target List.

I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat. This truly was 100x better film than I expected. I'm still amazed how good it was! I first thought this will be a thriller but after the first 15-20 minutes it clearly established itself as this action-comedy "we're-on-the-run-from-bad-guys-while-we-goof-things-up" movie and I just fell in love. The two main characters (Donna and Clyde) are just amazing together and made the entire movie so entertaining. I watch indie films a lot but this felt like straight from Hollywood. Rachel Alig is my new hero! This truly is a wonderful film and I recommend it to anyone looking for an action movie with comedy but also moments of somber reality.
