Applegate likely scored her role in this obnoxious John Woo produced actioner thanks to Married with Children. She basically reheats Kelly's persona, just with slightly more smarts, and a lot less charm. Applegate plays one of hit-man Mark Wahlberg's love interests, in a film which has absolutely no intention of doing that sort of subplot good service. It's a stylized action caper, so when Applegate's wheeled out, it's for cheap groans and light leering. One of several bullying women in the film, Applegate's dolled-up, but expected only to extol whines and whimpers amid the over-choreographed set-pieces. It doesn't help that The Big Hit has a tin ear for comedy, stranding the actress in broad moments that either see her ogled at or over-playing the b**ch card, with little hope of making a tangible impact. The film doesn't value Applegate, so it should come as no surprise it ranks as one of her lousiest performances.
