  • The Big 4 Movie

    Movie: The Big 4

    By: Cece Hymes

    The big 4 was about four retired assassins that have to go back in action when the guy that raised them gets killed and his biological daughter Dina takes a vacation to see if she can find out more information on her dad and there are people trying to kill her and the big 4. You have the Sniper, the Leader, the Bad a**, and the Bait. They are family and they look up to their Mentor they call pops.

    Dina doesn’t know what her father really does but she is going to be a cop. The day he was going to give everything up for her he got killed. She thinks she sees the killer and shoots at him. She finds a picture of her dad with other kids and follows the signs to see if she can find more information.

    As she goes on vacation she has to fight to survive. She learns more about the big 4 and what her father really was. It does have some funny parts in this movie you be like really lol. It is a lot of action in it.

    Can you really live 2 lives? It seems like we see a lot of people do it, but I know it has got to be hard. The movie also shows how family sticks together rather you blood or not. It’s not about who had you, it’s about who raised you and showed you love.

    The Big 4 went on retirement for 3 years and now are forced to reconnect to figure out who murdered their Pops and to keep each other alive. This movie shows that they kill people but at the same time they are saving groups of children from human organ trafficking rings. So, it’s like the bad guys being heroes. The big 4 have been trained all their lives to fight.

    Can you just imagine all these kids being trafficked around the world? This is a movie but this is happening in today’s world. I enjoyed this movie, a great action movie that is sad, funny and loving.

    Check it out and let me know what you think. It is definitely going to be part 2 of this movie. Check it out on Netflix.
