Affable hit man Melvin Smiley is constantly being scammed by his cutthroat colleagues in the life-ending business. So, when he and his fellow assassins kidnap the daughter of an electronics mogul, it's naturally Melvin who takes the fall when their prime score turns sour. That's because the girl is the goddaughter of the gang's ruthless crime boss. But, even while dodging bullets, Melvin has to keep his real job secret from his unsuspecting fiancée, Pam.

Entertaining to say the most, some of the acting was terrible and the plot was odd but enjoyable

This is one of my guiltiest pleasure films. Not particularly well made, but it's fun. I love it.

Love the over-the-top 90s antics, style and dialogue. Crazy.

Entertaining comedy crime flick with a good cast.

This too 90s. It's 90's on cocaine! Everything way over the top. The cast is awesome, but terrible writing/script.

A relic. A vestige. A forgotten art form. A quintessential 90's action-comedy. It's bombastic. It's over the top. And it's entertaining.

Mark Wahlberg's best movie. One of the best guilty pleasure there is. Hilarious action movie with a bombastic, absurd plot. Pure 90s.

We kept looking at each other and saying “this is so STUPID!” But we also kept right on watching and laughing at all of the stupidity.

This movie aims to be funny and stylish but ends up being goofy and lame.

A fun action flick. Dont go looking for character development or interesting plot lines. It's bad in a good way.
