Movie Reviews of The Big Hit
Movie Review: FUNNY AND FAST
Summary: 4 Stars
THE BIG HIT is a pretty funny crime caper, buoyed by a remarkably gentle performance from Mark Wahlberg as a hit man who can't stand the idea of not being liked. Add Lou Diamond Phillips as a foul mouthed, testosterone-driven lunatic; Robin Dunne as as stuttering idiot; Antonio Sabato Jr. and Bokeem Woodbine as buff buddies; China Chow as a spry kidnap victim; Avery Brooks as the smooth crime boss; Christina Applegate as a daft fiancee; and Elliott Gould and Lainie Kazan as the Jewish parents from Hell and you have all the ingredients for a lighthearted if somewhat violent film. There are some stupendous action scenes but it's the movie's humorous ambience that makes it refreshingly original.Movie Review: Don't Kidnap the Boss's Goddaughter
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoy gangsta action movies you are sure to enjoy this one with Mark Wahlberg and Lou Diamond Phillips. Good cast, decent story, and good music make it well worth at least a rental. I enjoyed it enough to want a copy of it. It reminded me of movies like "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels". When a group of gangsters does an independent job it goes very wrong. Especially for Wahlberg that plays the guy who literally does all the work and is very good at his job. Unfortunately the stress of a fiance and a lover wanting fine homes, cars, and lots of money is causing him to have a stomach ulcer and he can't poor the Milanta down fast enough. I recommend it.Movie Review: an cool action movie with a hot new Star!
Summary: 4 Stars
this movie is pretty cool! it's got action, comedy and a really cool up-and-coming star. mark walberg plays a nice guy who is caught up between to golddigging women and a stressful job as a hit-man. when the team of hit-men that mark walberg is in dicides to kidnapp their bosses daughter (played by ultra cute China Chow) everything goes crazy!!The movie itself is alright, the comedy and action make a good 50/50 mix, and the plot is easy to follow. the extras on thid disc enclude, a so-so commentary, some ok deleted seens, and some other extras. if you rent it and watch it and like it, you should buy it, but otherwise, wait for this one to go on sale.
Movie Review: Not the best but still a hit
Summary: 4 Stars
Though this black comedy was not obvious enough in it's delivery to make it the comedy it could have been, it's action and drama were not deep enough to make it the action adventure it could have been either. What it ends up being is a mix between the two that kept me wishing they would have gone one way or the other. The chemistry between Wahlberg and chow (off-screen partners or so I'm told) was exceptional and all the acting was very well done. A lot of great scenes that almost add up to a great movie. Worth a watch.Movie Review: One ultra-cool cheesy funny high-intensity action film
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this movie! Its definitely one of my favorites, and I have the tendency to watch it twice in a row! Mark Wahlberg is such a hot, sweet lil badboy and with that innocent soft voice and smile he always gives me the tingles. Love the action scenes and the sense of humor is so cheesy its just hilarious. The romantic scenes with Mark and his many girls keep me coming back for more and more. For the girls, there is a great locker room scene with the guys' naked butts---yummy!
