Storyline

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.

Score it big-time inane but a load of fun.

One of the funniest movies to come along in awhile.

Unquestionably 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.

This movie isn't afraid of venturing into the realm of bad taste -- in fact, it revels in it.

This isn't a movie so much as a marketing strategy -- a moving poster loosely disguised as a motion picture.
