The Big Hit is a 1998 American action comedy film directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Che-Kirk Wong. It stars Mark Wahlberg as Melvin Smiley, a socially anxious hitman who goes on a job and falls in love with his kidnapping victim, played by China Chow.
The film follows Melvin and his group of hitmen friends as they attempt to kidnap a wealthy executive's daughter for ransom. However, they overlook a few key details and end up in over their heads.
The film had a mixed critical reception upon release, with some praising its dark humor and action sequences while others found the plot muddled. It debuted at #1 at the box office and went on to gross $27 million domestically.
Despite its flaws, the film has gained a cult following over the years. In a retrospective review, one critic called it a "guilty pleasure" and praised its ability to expand its ideas to a "ludicrous extreme".
