Movie Description
Mel (Mark Wahlberg) is a neurotic, overworked hit man working for two crime bosses--Cisco (Lou Diamond Phillips) and Paris (Avery Brooks). He has a demanding fiance (Christina Applegate) with parents he's trying to impress and a gold-digging mistress (Lela Rochon) to occupy his scarce free time. Cisco proposes that stressed-out Mel kidnap Keiko (China Chow), the young daughter of Jiro Nishi, a wealthy Japanese industrialist. Mel captures her, but unfortunately Cisco is unaware that she is the goddaughter of Paris, who promptly puts a separate crew out to find and destroy Keiko's captors---and Paris is unaware that Mel is the man they are looking for. This unique and violent blend of action and comedy was executive produced by John Woo
Industry Reviews
"...Stylishly efficient....The stunts whoosh by like a Roadrunner cartoon..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today - p.4E - Susan Wloszczyna (05/29/1998)
"...It's like a hyped-up Bruce or Arnold thriller directed by the Coen brothers for Troma Films....It may be some sort of junk landmark: the first studio thriller that's all guilty pleasure."
Entertainment Weekly - p.51 - Owen Gleiberman (05/08/1998)
