Rating: 1/5 -- The script, by rookie writer Ben Ramsey, is among the most disgraceful screenplays ever to be produced by a major studio. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- If you often find yourself defending the types of movies offered by Jerry Bruckheimer and Joel Silver, here's an affably dumb little action/comedy that should easily hold your attention. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- ...crude and bloody but effective action comedy...

Rating: 1/4 -- The characters in these movies exist in a Twilight Zone where thousands of rounds of ammunition are fired, but no one ever gets shot unless the plot requires him to. The bullets have read the screenplay. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- As low- intelligence entertainment goes, this film is very much a hit-and-miss affair. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Aside from everything else it does, The Big Hit proves that any subject matter can be funny, in the right hands. Full Review

    Entertainment Reviews:

    USA Today - 05/29/1998

    "...Stylishly efficient....The stunts whoosh by like a Roadrunner cartoon..." -- 3 out of 4 stars

    Entertainment Weekly - 05/08/1998

    "...It's like a hyped-up Bruce or Arnold thriller directed by the Coen brothers for Troma Films....It may be some sort of junk landmark: the first studio thriller that's all guilty pleasure."

    Product Description:

    Mel (Mark Wahlberg) is a neurotic, overworked hit man working for two crime bosses--Cisco (Lou Diamond Phillips) and Paris (Avery Brooks). He has a demanding fiance (Christina Applegate) with parents he's trying to impress and a gold-digging mistress (Lela Rochon) to occupy his scarce free time. Cisco proposes that stressed-out Mel kidnap Keiko (China Chow), the young daughter of Jiro Nishi, a wealthy Japanese industrialist. Mel captures her, but unfortunately Cisco is unaware that she is the goddaughter of Paris, who promptly puts a separate crew out to find and destroy Keiko's captors---and Paris is unaware that Mel is the man they are looking for.
