The Transporter vs. The Big Hit
Thankfully, The Transporter 2 is making its way to theaters to clear up all our unanswered questions. Which begs the question, what's a better movie: The Transporter or The Big Hit? I prefer The Big Hit because of the humor.

I haven't seen The Transporter -- not all of it, at least -- but I refuse to believe that much of anything can be worse than The Big Hit.
When I was in college, some friends of mine and I came up with this scheme where we'd go to the movies every weekend, and we'd rotate who picked each week's movie. The first weekend, one of my roommates picked The Big Hit. He was never allowed to pick a movie again, and we wound up dropping the idea entirely.

I have not seen the Transporter yet.
But I do think The Big Hit is a fun comedy. It's definitely more of a comedy than an all out action film. Which I think is the main problem people have with it. They were hoping for a 'serious' action packed fun time. Instead,they got sporadic action scenes with alot of humor taking up most of the running time.
Dark comedy/absurd comedy is what The Big Hit is really all about and delivers from begining to end
Oh and the action scenes kickass as well
Is the Transporter any good? I saw the preview for part 2 and it looks like it could be fun. But I'm not sure,since trailers can be deceiving(that's there point to sell you films).

Dooku makes a compelling argument. I'll pose one as well:
Jason Statham versus Marky Mark
Statham is the next big action hero in my mind. Statham kicks Marky Marks ass all over the place.

I watched the Big Hit a month or so ago on Shotime. It felt like a movie shooting for humor at around the 6th grade level... except they forgot to make it funny for even 6th graders. Worst movie I've seen in a long time.
