Well, la, la, la............
I'm sitting here thinking of why The Big Hit is such a Big No-No, when on the face of it, the set up (Grosse Point Blank lite) and bits of the script seem fairly promising.
Well, for a start, Mark Walberg ain't no John C - but Three Kings showed that he is, with the right direction and supporting cast - better than this.
So - maybe it comes down to the fact that good comedy requires a lightness of touch and subtlety that the Director and most of the supporting cast just don't have?
None of the banter that is done so well is a movie like - shall we say Ocean's 11 - flows the way it should. It's wooden. The timing is all out. If I was going for something pretentious (and, sod it, this is IMDb after all so why not) I'd say that there is no negative space for the humour to sort itself out. But that would be meaningless, wouldn't it, and fairly unhelpful.
So, I simply feel it my duty to report to you, dear reader, that there is no compelling reason ever to watch this movie. I strongly suggest that you watch GPB again instead and compliment yourself that you might have been spending your time viewing something very, very much worse.

Swimming with Sharks is a very fine movie - if you haven't seen it I encourage you to get the DVD out because it has some great writing and performances to equal the script.
I'm just scribbling this comment to say that when I first saw the movie, I assumed that Spacey's (excellent) performance was a bit OTT. Still great, but OTT.
A couple of years later I happened to be doing some business with a major talent agency on the West Coast. I became acquainted with one of the partners in the agency.
So I can say from personal experience that the charm, the rage, the trappings, the sycophancy, the whole shmoola depicted by Spacey is, if anything, mildly understated :-)
Def worth 2 hours of your time.
