Synopsis
The Big Hit (1998) is a crime action comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Mark Wahlberg stars as a hit man so eager to please that everyone around him walks all over him.
Melvin Smiley is great at the killing part and a pushover at everything else. His colleagues stick him with their debts, his fiancee has no idea what he does for a living, and a side relationship is fraying his nerves. When the crew kidnaps an electronics mogul's daughter, the easy score curdles fast: the girl turns out to be the goddaughter of their own ruthless boss. Cisco, played by Lou Diamond Phillips, immediately pins the blame on Melvin. And in the middle of all this, the assassin manages to fall for his own hostage.
Hong Kong director Kirk Wong shoots the gunfights with that signature wall-of-bullets energy, while the tone keeps sliding between mayhem and farce. It's a loud, cocky piece from the era when action movies were happy to be dumb and charming at once. Stream The Big Hit (1998) online on iFILM.
