BIG HIT [Blu-ray]

Mark wallberg did an excellent job. I love this movie only for him. My cousin said it was good i did not agree so i watched it and it wasnt bad for a 1998 movie, the quality is phenomenal. Young mark was so motivated and original i love young mark.

The Big Hit is a crime comedy featuring Mark Wahlberg as Melvin, Lou Diamond Phillips as Cisco, Bokeem Woodbine as Crunch, and Antonio Sabato Jr as Vince who are a bunch of inept crooks. The story focuses upon the trials and tribulations of Melvin. He’s got a fiancé named Pam (Christina Applegate), a girlfriend named Chantel (Lela Rochon) and ulcers because of the two of them. Melvin’s crew ends up kidnapping an heiress named Keiko (China Chow) which adds to his troubles. It's supposed to make fun of the crime drama genre.The style of the movie is laid out in the opening as Melvin and company attempt to assassinate a gangster. Melvin does all the work, shooting his way through all the henchmen and when they’re all dead Cisco and Vince jump in, shoot some dead bodies, and congratulate themselves for a job well done. Later when they kidnap Keiko Cisco has her read a ransom note that’s full of spelling errors. Really Cisco is the base for almost all the comedy in the story. He's a completely ridiculous and exaggerated character but that's the point of the film, to make fun of the tough guy crime stories which are so common.There’s also plenty of action and gun play and even some romance thrown in as well. Wahlberg does a good job as the hapless main character. Phillips almost steals the show when he shows up in a scene. It all makes for a very fun movie to watch.

Full of excitement so great on Blu-rayThis is what could happen when you get a whole bunch of bad guys together to to do something bad like a kidnapping everything can go wrong

I loved this movie the first time I watched it some years back and promised myself I'd see it again because apparently it was the LAST time I ever saw it on broadcast television, it was so long ago I can't even remember what channel broadcast it was; but I saw it and thought to myself "I love this movie." And always have up till the day I got it because now I can watch it over, and over, and over again and it still cracks me up everytime. With that aside and Mark Wahlberg being one of my most favorite male actors-- this movie was topnotch in the very element it was supposed to be, a hard-hitting action movie with some right down comedy. It's not a movie to be taken seriously, but not a movie to let you down either of its mockery-- top notch acting and reasons why Mark Wahlberg, as an action star actor can do comedy, unlike Densel Washington who's even asked Jay Leno on his show why he couldn't do comedy, the response was because Densel was just too serious to be taken lightly. Here though, whether this wasn't a role Mark fit ideally to some peeople's benefit of his other marks; I still think it was one hell of a role for him that he did EXTREMELY well as the soft-spoken hitmen who could do everything right but has the incredible turn of luck to always get the crap end of the stick at times.Good movie.Good laughs.Good times.Even my fiancee enjoyed it and she'd never seen the movie up till I showed her some days ago! Good quality movie worth its time and laughter appeal.

Full of action and comedy

Came in perfect condition, good quality sound and video. However I would not recommend this movie because it was rather boring. Packaging, shipping, and handling were with care.

This movie was a fun parody of the usual oh so serious, profanity laced, god hating hit men movies that populate the first five years of the new milennium. China Chow is gorgeous as a sassy schoolgirl with a lack of fatherly affection. We see this manifest itself later when she depends on Melvin Smiley (Wahlberg) to assist her in tasks while she is handcuffed, such as cooking in the kitchen and using the bathroom.I liked this film, but I'm really giving it five stars for the sexual subtext of the bathroom scene. He has her, she is his. She informs him she has to pee. He carries her and then pulls her underwear down for her. He learns what it is like to have someone depend on him instead of him depending on everyone else.

I admit... the biggest reason I rented this movie was because of Mark Wahlberg is in it and I wanted to see him in a different kind of role. Well this is a 360 degree turn from "Planet of the Apes" for him. He is hit man and the cutest, sweetest, nicest hit man you would ever want to meet. He is so nice that he has an ulcer and justs wants "everyone to like him". The movie is rather silly but it is also entertainingly funny. It is wacky and the language is horrible, but, the action is very good and Wahlberg does some amazing moves during a hit and a car chase. I found myself laughing so hard becuase it was so stupid it was funny. Obviously, this movie is not meant to be taken seriously so don't see it expecting a serious movie or really a great one either. It is a comedy. You will either like it or hate it. Enjoy! Wahlberg is adorable in it as well as China Chow, the girl he has to kidnap.

When four crims want extra cash they kidnap the bosses goddaughter then they decide that Mel should take the fall. There is nothing to compare you for the next issue, so hold on for a lot of comedy that everything is thrown into turmoil. I rated this an A grade plus for the screw-ups of full time criminals that make so many mistakes. Actors and storyline is fabulous and the errors are great. Now I have told you a little and now its your turn to pick up the movie and munchies relax with feet up to a wonderful night in with marvellous entertainment. Enjoy!

A fun, over-the-top action film like the most ridiculously exaggerated kung-fu flics produced in Tai-Wan. The characters are caricatures like in all Taiwaneese kung-fu pics, only the whole thing is set in suburban America. Once you accept the assumption of caricature, and totally suspended disbelief that comes along with that, you can sit back and have a few laughs. This is a bit like a Disney movie for violence-loving teen-agers. Perhaps a new genre in the making.

This is A Great Action Flick that does wonders with its small budget.I will say though that it thinks its funnier than it actually is and some scenes are drawn out to breaking point,but the dips in the story are few and far between and this turns out to be A Solid,fun Actioner.

I knew it was second hand but as it was so cheap I thought I would risk it not working. When it arrived there was a massive scratch on the disc so it didn't play properly. I binned it as didn't seem worth doing anything else after getting it so cheap

I'm a big fan of DS9 (probably the best Star Trek spinoff) so I really only bought this for Avery Brooks. He's probably the best thing in the film, a mish mash of multiple genres that don't really work. It also seems a little similar to Grosse Point Blank.
