kirk wong the big hit of 1998 have a funny premise a professional killer who happen to be the friendly guy one could imagine . and it be a funny film occasionally and but it also annoy with it constant attempt of be the hip movie ever make and and partly seem like an overlong rap video and which be more than tiring after a while . there be some hilarious sequence and but and unfortunately and the annoying one overwhelm . melvin smiley ( mark wahlberg ) be a professional assassin . and he be a really and really nice guy . actually and he be such a nice guy that he be just be use by his two smoking hot girlfriend ( play by christina applegate and lela rochon ) and and most of his hit men buddy also hoodwink him whenever they can . these hit men friend be play by lou diamond phillips and bookeem woodbine and antonio sobato jr. and and although i wouldn not necessarily say that any of their performance suck big time and they be not really worth mention either and and neither be the performance of wahlberg himself . ok and lou diamond phillips be quite funny at time and but as often a his character be funny and he be also annoy and simply because he be too exaggerated and stereotypical . christina applegate and lela rochon make a good look female support cast and one of the few truly good performance however and be deliver by the beautiful china chow and who play the daughter of a rich japanese businessman in the female lead . the support cast include elliot gould and who and not surprisingly and deliver the best performance in the film and and avery brook and who also fit in quite well a the hit men bos . the big hit be an endurable time waster if you really have nothing well to do and but over all the attempt of be the cooooolest film that ever hit the screen be just too annoy to really have a good time . this film be produce by cult director john woo . john woo be a brilliant filmmaker in his hong kong day and with great title such a a good tomorrow and the killer or bullet in the head and but at the late since after the passable face or off and his name be connect with blockbuster that barely reach mediocrity and such a the big hit . what a pity .
