Once upon a time, Hong Kong and Hollywood were the best of friends… Hong Kong was the poor-but-spunky upstart and Hollywood was the rich, aloof asshole who’d taken a shine to its charms. For about half a decade, the two would collaborate in ways that would change the action genre forever. In the early days, this meant trying to bolt Hong Kong action scenes onto standard, low-brow Hollywood action tropes; the results may not have been earth-shattering, but damn were they entertaining… And The Big Hit may have been one of the best (and strangest) of the bunch.

The solo debut feature by director Rae Red, The Girl and the Gun is the story of both the girl AND the gun in an intertwining tale that calls to mind similar crime films using a nonlinear storytelling format.
