Don't Kidnap the Boss's Goddaughter
If you enjoy gangsta action movies you are sure to enjoy this one with Mark Wahlberg and Lou Diamond Phillips. Good cast, decent story, and good music make it well worth at least a rental. I enjoyed it enough to want a copy of it. It reminded me of movies like "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels". When a group of gangsters does an independent job it goes very wrong. Especially for Wahlberg that plays the guy who literally does all the work and is very good at his job. Unfortunately the stress of a fiance and a lover wanting fine homes, cars, and lots of money is causing him to have a stomach ulcer and he can't poor the Milanta down fast enough. I recommend it.

The Big Hit
It's an alright movie. You have good known actors playing in it and that's what makes a better movie.

An average action flick that you can't help but to laugh
This is a ridiculous movie, which is why I liked it so much. It is a very stylish movie with the action scenes having lots of crazy jumps, flips, and explosions. In here we have Mel, played by Mark Wahlberg, who is a hit man who works as part of a crew for Paris. However he has money problems and stress that gives him a constant upset stomach. His main stress comes from his two women. His fiancé has arranged for her disapproving parents to come to stay with them for the weekend, while his girlfriend Chantel is determined to get every penny she can out of him. When Cisco offers him a job outside of Paris's contracts he takes it and kidnaps Keiko, the daughter of a rich industrialist who also happens to be Paris's goddaughter. Betrayed by Cisco, Mel finds himself with the hostage but also targeted by plenty of firepower.
I've seen this couple of times and fine it worthwhile. The plot is silly but could have worked, however the action scenes don't really have any character and are best described as functional rather than special. The director has chosen to give the film a constant energy and pace rather than work on giving the film it's own character or style. Some of the scenes hint at what could have worked in the script. Quiet scenes between Mel and Keiko show a character that should have been worked into the action better. Instead these are rare and make way for meaningless, overblown action sequences which also, surprisingly for Wong, lack a sense of character or excitement. The effects aren't as good as you'd hope and several blue screen bits are poor.
Wahlberg is likeable in a goofy innocent role as Mel. He does well with the action as well as the insecure character. Phillips is either bad or brilliant depending on your feelings about what his role needed. He hams it up so much that at times he's hard to take but he compliments the absurd vein of comedy running through the narrative. Woodbine is wasted despite an amusing running gag about his discovery of [...]. The biggest waste for me was Lela Rochon. In `Knock Off' she proved that she is talented and sexy enough to rise above a bad film, here she hardly has any screen time - another example of wasted talent.
However this is disposal more than anything else. It has enough pace and energy to fool you into being entertained and in fairness the time does pass quite easily. My only complaint is that the film's style goes overboard towards the end of the movie, watch it and you'll see what I mean. Overall this is an average action movie who's weaknesses outweigh any strengths it may have had at the time of writing the original script.

funny
This is a good parody of mob/hit films. Four hit men kidnap a college girl without their boss knowing about it. It reminds me a bit of The Whole Nine Yards but it is not as good. It is funny at times and the cast seem to enjoy themselves.

Hot Hitman
This was really the first movie that you got to see Mark be a leading man. He really showed that he could carry a movie not only the action end of it but he showed that he can add humor to it as well.
I've seen all but 3 of his movies and i can seriously say that this is one of his BEST films!!!
My top 3 Mark movies would be:
1) The Big Hit
2) The Italian Job (he does some really hot driving in that movie)
3) Fear (he might play a creepy character, but he shows a lot of range with his acting in it)
