This was a fully awesome movie. Finally a movie worth watching that is entertaining from start to finish.

The movie is all about a successful young hit man who kills for a living - it's the only thing he's good at. He and his three teammates decide to kidnap the daughter of a rich businessman to earn some extra cash. What they don't know is that he is bankrupt, and that the girl is ... read more

To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Mark Whalberg, I thought I should give it a try. Honestly, I wasn't really good, I'm afraid. Apparently, they tried to make one of those action-comedy from Hong-Kong (the director, Kirk Wong, was even from Hong-Kong) but the end-result was pretty disappointing. Indeed, the humor was ever bad or too tongue-i... read more

Description: Melvin Smiley, a successful young hitman, is living a normal all-day life for his jewish fiancé Pam, but kills for money in Paris' organization. In addition, he has a relationship with a beauty from the neighbourhood and gets bothered by a pimply video store guy, because he did not return "King Kong Lives" for two weeks. He and his three teammates Cisco, Crunch and Vince one day decide to kidnap the daughter of super-rich businessman Jiro Nishi - off the record. What they do not know, is that Jiro just went completely bankrupt due to a successless movie production, and, even worse, that his daughter Keiko is the god-d ... (more)

" First Viewing Viewing Date: April 18th Via: Amazon Prime Video Plot: Socially anxious hitman Melvin Smiley, an expert in his lucrative field, goes on a job and falls in love with his kidnapping victim, turning his world upside down. Rating: 7.2/10 Why Did I Watch It? A trusted friend recommended it and I'm always down for a '90s action flick."

"Re-watch - Dec. 15th Dudes with guns double-feature I hadn't seen The Big Hit since it was in theatres, and if you asked me why I own a copy of it I really couldn't say. I'm guessing I found it super cheap & bought it thinking I'd revisit it to see if it was better or worse than I'd remembered. Well, now I've revisited it, and odds are I won't hang onto my copy of it. It's cheesy fun, but it hasn't aged well thanks largely to how stuck in the '90s it is. The soundtrack is a mix of rap, pop-punk"
