| Cincinnati EnquirerMargaret A. McGurkAside from everything else it does, The Big Hit proves that any subject matter can be funny, in the right hands. |
| San Francisco ExaminerCraig MarineOne of the funniest movies to come along in awhile. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyUnquestionably a slick piece of goods. The training and experience of Wong and his crew --- culled largely from such action series as "La Femme Nikita" and "Once a Thief" --- keep the film lively and vivid. |
| Dallas ObserverAndy KleinManages the seemingly impossible task of being very funny indeed and being as dark as anything Wong has ever made. This is an almost painfully bleak comedy that makes you squirm in the manner of The Out-of-Towners. |

| Filmcritic.comBlake FrenchThe Big Hit should be titled The Big Miss. That?s a really bad pun, but it?s better than anything in this movie. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis movie isn't afraid of venturing into the realm of bad taste -- in fact, it revels in it. |
