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

Rating: 2/4 -- This frantic black comedy is one long obscure joke.

Rating: 3/4 -- In its non-A-list way, The Big Hit is the most successful attempt yet to transfer the Hong Kong action movie to Hollywood.

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

Rating: 1/5 -- The Big Hit should be titled The Big Miss. That?s a really bad pun, but it?s better than anything in this movie.

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.
