Amazon.co.uk Review
Film fans might someday recognise 1997 and 1998 as the years Hong Kong came to Hollywood. Stars Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Chow Yun-Fat, Jet Li and Michelle Yeogh all appeared in major Hollywood projects and directors John Woo, Ronny Yu and Tsui Hark directed Face/Off, Bride of Chucky and Knock Off, respectively. Another entry into this new era of entertainment is The Big Hit, directed by Che-Kirk Wong (who also directed Jackie Chan in Crime Story), executive produced by John Woo, and produced by Wesley Snipes. Mark Wahlberg leads this all-American cast in a played-for-laughs macho blowout. Rounding out the testosterone brigade are Lou Diamond Phillips (sprouting a gold-capped tooth and a dirty mouth), Bokeem Woodbine (who, according to this DVD's director audio track, wore extra socks where it counts), Antonio Sabato Jr. and Avery Brooks. Wahlberg plays Melvin Smiley, a nice-guy hit man with an ulcer and a severe insecurity problem. He's short on cash due to the spending habits of his unsuspecting fiancee Pam (Christina Applegate) and his girlfriend-on-the-sly Chantel (Lela Rochon). He and his crew decide to do a little freelancing and cook up their own heist to make a little mo' money--specifically by kidnapping Keiko (China Chow), the daughter of a Japanese businessman whom they target for ransom. Little do they know her dad is broke and she's the goddaughter of their boss. The Big Hit has action scenes aplenty (one of the stunt co-ordinators worked on Woo's The Killer and Bullet in the Head) and the same cornball sense of humour as other films in the Hong Kong action genre. Slick pacing and over-the-top humour made this movie a miss with the critics but a fun ride for fans of Hong Kong-styled action. --Shannon Gee

this is a very good action movie for the guys as well as extremely funny in a slapstick way. the action sequences were excellent & the characters & acting over the top strong which didn't make it look cheesy as i believe it was the intention for the laughs. i found it a very enjoyable movie.
 It has Mark Wahlberg in so what do you expect? November 30, 2003

The most disappointing film i have ever watched. The film promises action, which it does, but thats it. There are some funny moments but not enough to keep you glued to the screen. The weak acting and the pathetic romantic scenes sums this up as a must miss film.
 a zany action comedy January 7, 2001

You'll either love or hate this movie. It's one of those movies that's so bad its good and I think that's how the movie was suppossed to be. It has good action sequences and is very funny. If you're a fan of Mark Wahlberg you have to see this movie and even if you're not it's a good laugh!!
