25 years ago, The Big Hit saw John Woo, Wesley Snipes, Mark Wahlberg, and a lot of bad taste unite for an oddly fascinating action-comedy. Craig D. Lindsey revisits a '90s time capsule:
Here’s a true story: I was at my nearby Blockbuster Video one Friday night, looking for something to tide me over for the weekend. As I was at the counter with my selections, a tape slipped into the outside return slot. One of the employees picked it up and it was. When the employer popped the case open to see if it was rewound, he said, “Look what they did!” and showed it to everyone around the counter, including me.
Wahlberg’s Maalox-guzzling protagonist is something of a paradox: an expert assassin who’s also a doormat. He’s been bleeding money thanks to his fiancée , who gave a hefty loan to her stereotypically Jewish parents , and his two-timing, gold-digging mistress . Even Cisco guilt-trips him out of the $25,000 bonus Melvin gets after taking out a target.
