If you often find yourself defending the types of movies offered by Jerry Bruckheimer and Joel Silver, here's an affably dumb little action/comedy that should easily hold your attention.

Aside from everything else it does, The Big Hit proves that any subject matter can be funny, in the right hands.

GQ model types sweating it up. High-caliber weapons fired indiscriminately. Toned babes in skin-tight clothing. Marky Mark breakdances in a gun fight. What more could you ask for?

I've designated it as a rental simply because despite some gunplay and effects sequences, it won't lose anything on the small screen.

In its non-A-list way, The Big Hit is the most successful attempt yet to transfer the Hong Kong action movie to Hollywood.

The script, by rookie writer Ben Ramsey, is among the most disgraceful screenplays ever to be produced by a major studio.

The Big Hit should be titled The Big Miss. That?s a really bad pun, but it?s better than anything in this movie.
