Terrible. This is trying to be a Rom-Com and a Kidnap Crime Comedy and never in the slightest can make the two work together in the slightest. The editing is further compounded because every third transition is so obnoxious and noticeable, edited like a M온라인카지노추천 music video, and trying to be hip and cool. This is so gloriously dated late 90's early 00's nonsense. The jokes are terrible also, not once do they ever get a laugh and are like watching a middle aged person in 1998 trying to be hip. The music is subpar and just as dated with everything else being terrible. This is completely brainless with no wit or anything clever about it. The acting is so bad, terrible dialouge, poor Elliot Gould. It's just over the top nonsense in the fights which half the time it's kind of hard to tell what's going on. At least it's only 90 minutes. Skip This.

this is an underrated comedy action movie

Did no one see this film when they were deciding that Marky Mark could be a big actor?

Lots of stars. Horrible script. I guess it was intended to be a spoof but it came out as just bad.

Yea it was silly and stupid but it was also fun 3.1

Pretty bad! Skip this one unless you want to watch Mark's earliest stuff.

Uncomfortably creepy. Surely even in 1998 the implied age gap between Wahlberg's character and his school girl love interest was just outright paedophila. In real life they only have a 3 year age gap, so this would've been easily solved by making her a college student. The extended soft porn scene for 14 year old female fans of Wahlberg's rapping was particularly distasteful. Can't help but think this age gap and her school outfit were designed for those questionable people living among us. Not aging well in these times of allegations and revelations in the Hollywood film-making machine. There are a lot of really good actors in this too. Goofy entertainment that was shot down by the Weinstein effect. If it's this or Howard the Duck? Go for the webbed feet every time.

It's been quite a while and I feared this wouldn't have aged very well at all, and yes a lot of it can be kinda corny and it's super 90s. But I love this film. Holds up amazingly well for me. I just have a blast with its cartoonish, over-the-top, Hong Kong-influenced action and zany black comedy. And I love Wahlberg's character in this. Lou Diamond Phillips is a bit much in it... but he always was.

One of my favorite films of all time. It is so cheesy, it is awesome. Great cast. An abundance of memorable one liners. What more do you want from an action comedy parody ?

The Big Hit: Absurd, funny and fast paced. This action thiller is meta and absurd in the best sense of the word while being vastly underrated and often underlooked.

The 12 year old in me loves this movie. The adult can't watch it often lol

Comedy of a group of gangsters who inadvertently kidnap their bosses godchild. Well played.

Melvin Smiley (Mark Wahlberg) is a hitman leading a secret life and maintaining two relationships, one with the demanding and demeaning Chantel (Lela Rochon), who does not accept his work, and another with Pam (Christina Applegate), who knows nothing of his job. Melvin is somewhat of a pushover, trying to appease all of Chantel's demands, even her most expensive wishes, as well as rolling over whenever one of his co-workers takes credit for his achievements. Feeling underpaid for their work for mob boss Paris (Avery Brooks), the assassin team of Smiley, Cisco (Lou Diamond Phillips), Crunch (Bokeem Woodbine), Vince (Antonio Sabato Jr.) and Gump (Robin Dunne) take an independent job, kidnapping Keiko Nishi (China Chow), the teenage daughter of local electronics magnate Jiro Nishi (Sab Shimono), for a hefty ransom. Unfortunately, the team does not realize that Nishi has recently gone bankrupt over his failed foray into films and furthermore, their boss Paris is the girl's godfather. Enlisted by the group to hold Keiko, Melvin has to hide the bound and gagged schoolgirl on his property, attempting to keep her presence hidden from Pam and her parents, who are coming for dinner... "The Big Hit" tries to be a bit like "Grosse Pointe Blank" with John Cusack, but manages to be way too campy and with Mark Wahlberg in the lead you hardly get the same Cusack acting standard. This testosterone-fueled low budget black action comedy is a cheese fest with way over the top performances, guns and killings with a wink in the eye and a satire structure on relationships that works so so. "The Big Hit" is just not that exciting nor funny. And what is it? Farce? Gangster comedy? Action romcom? "The Big Hit" doesn´t know which leg to stand on and that makes the film ending up in nowhere land. However I did enjoy the participation of the always oh so lovely Christina Applegate and the very cute China Chow.

Just dumb and not that entertaining, kind of forgettable, but there are plenty of things to like.

"The Big Hit" was a modest hit back in 1998 and then quickly forgotten. The movie did have some good reviews at that time like film critics Leonard Maltin and former critic from Entertainment Weekly:Owen Gleiberman enjoy the movie. While Roger Ebert give it an largely negative review. "The Big Hit" probably won't appeal to all but it has ambition, some nice visual style, better than expected cast, some good action sequence and a fun premise. What is not to like about this feature ? Sure, it has its hits and misses in this movie. Melvin Smiley (Mark Walhberg) is a Professional hit man, who has two woman in his life. A pretty woman (Christina Appelgate), who knows nothing about his personal life and an highly demanding mistress (Lela Rochon), who is actually ripping him off. Since Melvin is out of money and he is often cheated by his friend Cisco (Lou Diamond Phillips in a amusing turn as a double crossing hit-man) for assassining jobs. When Melvin is out of money, Cisco suggests him along with two other assassins (Bokeem Woodbine and Robin Dunne). Cisco wants to kidnapped an beautiful college student named Keiko (China Chow), since her father Jiro (Sab Shimono) is a millionarie. Melvin is having a terrible week dealing his fiancee's parents (Elliott Gould and Lainie Kazan) upcoming visit for the weekend, his cheating mistress and doing the stupid kidnapping job, because he is out of money. But things get worse, when Cisco realizes that they kidnap their boss' (Avery Brooks) goddaughter. Now Cisco has to betrayed his friend and his collègues to keep himself alive. Which sooner or later, there will be hell to pay. Directed by Kirk Wong (Legacy of Rage, Twin Brothers) made an amusing tongue in cheek action film mixed with Hong Kong style of action filmmaking and comedy doesn't always work and at times, it is not particulary well directed at times but it is lively enough to keep it modestly entertaining, thanks to a good cast. Screenwriter Ben Ramsey deserves some credit for this work to have some good dialogue, some wild action situations and somehow having a subplot of "King Kong Lives" video tape not being returned at the video store! There is some clever in-jokes in it, check out the video store sequence towards the end, it has plenty of Columbia/Tri-Star vhs tapes and poster. There is also Troma vhs tapes and posters too for a good laugh. "The Big Hit" is a mess but it is pretty ambitious, despite some bad direction at times. It does offers something completely different, even if it is not entire successful. The feature is certainly an guilty pleasure, no doubt. Grade:B+.

The action film satire The Big Hit delivers some good laughs but is a little too silly. In need of money to support his fiancee and a mistress mob hitman Melvin Smiley takes a side job kidnapping the daughter of a wealthy businessman, but things go sideways when she turns out to also be the goddaughter of his mob boss. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christina Applegate, and Avery Brooks, the cast is pretty strong, but the performances are uneven and cartoonish. However, some blame has to go to the script, which is poorly written and full of problems. Yet the over-the-top craziness works in the film's favor at times, and is kind of fun. The Big Hit has its moments, but it doesn't really come together in the end.

Quite a good film although a bit daft at times. Mark Wahlberg is excellent as usual.

An obnoxious mess from start to finish. Tries to be a broad comedy about witless hitmen living in the blandness of suburbia, but he approach is too cartoonish to work. For better films with similar subject matter, watch either "Grosse Pointe Blank" (a great film) or "The Whole Nine Yards" (a decent broad comedy).

Wow lots of $$$ on action scenes but poor comedy ruins this one. Incompetent bad guys, 30-year old Asian school girls shows Marky Mark how not be a D-bag, you can just imagine how riveting, NOT!

Off the wall stuff, one really shit story but lots of quality action. Bokeem Woodbine had me in tears as the hit man who has just discovered how to masturbate. Great fun.
