Mar 19, 2018 · THE BIG HIT is a 1998 action-comedy with enough good qualities that I have a soft spot for it. Alot of the humor is too broad for me, but that’s okay.

Remembering, for the dozenth time, how well done "The Big Hit", starring Mark Wahlberg and Lou Diamond Phillips is. I rewatch this movie every few years because I keep insisting that friends and acquaintances borrow it. I lose it and regain it.
