Review of The Big Hit

The Big Hit (1998)
1/10
Soooooooooo bad !!!
6 March 1999
Well, what can be said of a movie such as this one ... A total disaster, a car wreck, a complete crash landing...

This movie is a total waste of celluloid and gets my vote as the worst movie of 1998 so far ...

All the actors are so terrible, especially Lou Diamond Phillips that I have never seen so bad before. Clearly his worst performance ever. But what can you do with a script that is a joke from beginning to end. What can you do with dialogues that seem to have been written by a 12 years old kid obsessed with masturbation (one of the characters keeps talking about this !!!) and some old King Kong movie ...

0/5 for me ... which means I would rather have watched a blank tape than to see this !!!

I was tempted at one point to be "generous" and give a 0.5/5 for a couple of nice action sequences near the end and the presence of a couple of gorgeous ladies (clearly not chosen because of their acting abilities !!) but when those action scenes don't lead to anything else it seems like such a waste after all ...

Sorry for such a negative review ... but I can't find any positive aspect to this movie ... even Wahlberg's performance was just a big let down especially after his great one in Boogie nights, The basketball diaries, etc.

Look for Wahlberg's wife's parents as the most annoying couple I have seen on screen in a loooooooooong time !!! ... maybe as a hitman he could have "taken care" of them ... I wish ......
