Draco S Oct 1, 2017 Comedy of a group of gangsters who inadvertently kidnap their bosses godchild. Well played.

Theodore S Jun 3, 2017 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. See more

Hagrid P May 8, 2017 Just dumb and not that entertaining, kind of forgettable, but there are plenty of things to like.

Finn W Apr 20, 2007 3/26/2017: An ok movie at best. Some decent action and a good cast, but it just had that cheesy 90's feel. This was more of a fun goofy action flick rather than a serious film. See more
