REVIEW
The Big Hit is a genuinely likable action-comedy offering the visceral action of director Wong's Crime Story and the hip dopiness of, well, someone who's infatuated with Hong Kong action epics. Wahlberg is Melvin Smiley, a hit man with romantic and financial problems, who decides to take on a freelance assignment and kidnap the daughter (Chow) of a Japanese businessman to cash in on the ransom money. Little does he know that the teenaged girl is also the goddaughter of his boss, a powerful criminal. Soon, his well-toned assassin partners turn turncoat and offer to bring Melvin in for their boss. Wong is great at staging some action sequences, and gets a lot of comic mileage from the screenplay. If you know that Jackie Chan's Drunken Master II is better than the original Drunken Master, you'll get a big laugh out of The Big Hit.
