The Big Hit (1998) Poor Mark Wahlberg. He just wants everyone to like him, but when you're a contract killer with a money grubbing fiancee (Christina Applegate), a greedy girlfriend (Lela Rochon), a tough no-nonsense boss (Avery Brooks) and a weaselly coworker (Lou Diamond Phillips) who'd sell his mom for a quick buck, you're not likely to find yourself a happy man. So goes the plot of this goofy action comedy from the producers of Broken Arrow. Though the script to this is at times amusing, with assassins who pause in the middle of a hit for a coffee break, and Wahlberg forced to extreme slapstick measures to keep a kidnap victim he's been stuck with hidden from his fiancee and her stereotypical Jewish parents (Lainie Kazan and Elliot Gould), it also gets smug in its attempts to be hip, which works against the movie as a whole. Also, it's lucky this is a comedy, because while there is some good stuntwork involved, too many scenes are cartoonishly computer assisted to be taken seriously at all. If you see this in the right frame of mind it would probably tickle you, but if not it'll more likely annoy you. If you do see it, you will have to give Lou Diamond Phillips some points for pulling out all the stops as the flamboyantly flaky Chico. But if the premise seems shaky to you, you should probably avoid this one. Also starring Antonio Sabato Jr.

This funky bunch is better than his first funky bunch and this movie is hilarious and should be seen by any fan of Mr. Wahlberg.
Lou Diamond and the other two give a pretty standard performance for their careers. OWN IT!!!
November 4, 2008| | | Mark Wahlberg's first great film | |
Simply stated, a funny movie with some pretty good action and alot of great b-movie stars. Mark Wahlberg was small time when this movie came out in 1998. With the exception of Boogie Nights, which I did not care for, this was Wahlberg's first great movie. Add this to your collection for sure.

August 25, 2008 | | Action and comedy at it's best | |
The Big Hit is exactly what it intends to be a action comedy. Mark Wahlbeg shows his action star staus for the first time in this movie and the action sequences by Kirk Wong were some of the best in 1998. Lou Diamond Phillps and Bookem Woodbine provide great one liners in a very good film. .
