The Big Hit- is a excellent film. Its a very underrated slapstick comedy action drama film. Mark Walhberg and Lou Diamond Phillips are excellent in this film.

The plot: Affable hit man Melvin Smiley (Mark Wahlberg) 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 (Christina Applegate).

If you havent seen this film, than go watch it. Its really good.

Not the ending I was hoping for
Knew I would be hooked when I saw "From the makers of Line Of Duty"

I like how the show addresses an important fact that in reality it's very easy these days for people to influence others with the use of the internet/social media.

When I saw the trailer for this series I thought it was just going to be another typical kidnap style show but I like the fact that Lennie James' character is actually arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his own daughter who he hasn't seen in over 10 years, and eventually becomes the character who does the most to try and find his daughter.

The ending was not what I was expecting and could probably have been worked differently but I appreciate they have set it up for another series.

Definitely not Swedish
Indisputably the best of the TNG Trek movies, not that this is saying very much. Picard and company whizz off back to the 21st century to stop the malevolent Borg from changing history; there's no plot like a recycled Star Trek plot, I guess. Vaguely odd premise is realised well by Jonathan Frakes.

Kind of falls victim to the usual assumption that all Star Trek movies must necessarily be action movies, and (once again as usual) some of the more junior members of the cast don't get very much to do. Frankly, would have liked to have seen the original script where the Borg tried to kidnap Leonardo da Vinci (Patrick Stewart refused to wear tights on film any more, apparently), but moves along breezily enough and you don't need to be a full-on Trekkie to find something to entertain you here.
