Review of The Big Hit (1998) by Rob C — 14 Mar 2010
The Big Hit is just a well-rounded ride of a film. It mixes Hong Kong-style action sequences with some tongue-in-cheek dialogue and cartoonish situations. The film surfaced at the height of the Hong Kong exchange to the US, and blended it's own brand of action with an all-American cast.
Mark Wahlberg played his usual nice guy routine, but with some added annoyance to his character. Lou Diamond Phillips and Bokeem Woodbine provided their own style of humor which propelled the film a bit more.
The storyline took a backseat to it's character driven plot, almost being non-existant among the mayhem ensuing. The Big Hit was nothing special at the time of it's release, but it made for a worthy addition and provided that jovial feel to its genre.
