Summary: Ignore the Critics
Review: Ignore the critics and see this one. It seems Geena Davis has enemies out there. This is an excellent action movie. Fans of movies like "The Bourne Identity" and "Point of No Return" will definitely enjoy it. Samuel Jackson is excellent as the sleazy detective that finds the threads to a amnesia victims past existence as a CIA assassin. Once she surfaces as a teacher on a float in a televised parade, all hell breaks loose. The agency has decided she is a loose cannon to be eliminated at any expense. Initially her response is like you would expect of someone with no memory, just automatic reflex. Sound familiar? Yes they borrowed heavily from the Robert Ludlum "The Bourne Identity" book and TV Miniseries premise or I'm a monkeys uncle.

Summary: One of the dumbest movies i've ever seen
Review: First off Gina Davis is not an actress,she's eye candy and thats about it.Much like Kelly La Brock from back in the 80's.Also why in the world would you cast a great Actor like Samuel L Jackson in such a lame blow up,beat em up make no sense action picture,he's way to genuine for such a goofy flick.Gina is super spy woman who hits a deer with a car,gets mad then breaks its neck,single handedly takes down loads of villians with machine guns,and also breaks THERE necks as well.Cheese Cheese Cheese.And although a lot of the action scenes were well executed it doesnt save this from being a major flop that you'll find for 5.99 in your DVD discount bin at Wal-Mart:)

Summary: I wish I could give it ten stars
Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE ! ! ! I saw this movie a long time ago and fell in love. Gina Davis as Charlie Baltimore was TERRIFIC ! I like the fact that all the scenes are not over the top nor unbelievable. To this day I drink my shots just like C.B. did in the hotel scene. Samuel Jackson adds more flavor as a down and out private eye. This movie will and should be considred a cult classic !

Summary: A Holiday Classic?
Review: Well, kind of. In my twisted household anyway. This is one non-stop, action-packed thriller from beginning to end. Completely over-the-top - some of the torture scenes make you think of the real oldies with Little Nell and the railroad track, but boy is it fun. Davis is truly cool here: funny and wide-eyed one minute, sleek and vicious the next. Jackson is great as her somewhat unwilling cohort and the two have a great chemistry. Bierko is SO evil he should have a mustache to twist. Fun, very fun. All played out against a Christmas backdrop mind you. A good triple feature with Die Hard and The Bells of St. Mary's. (LOL)

Summary: KISSES TO KILL
Review: I think THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT is a great film. It never lets up in its action, and director Renny Harlin pilots a great cast with superb action scenes, explosions, car chases, you name it---this one cooks!
Geena Davis is fabulous as Samantha Caine, a schoolteacher with amnesia, not realizing she was a CIA assassin prior to an injury which gave her the amnesia. She's now settled in with a nice lover and a lovely little girl.
Enter Samuel L. Jackson as the pI who is trying to help her find out who she was before.
Christmas is coming, and Geena is spied on a t.v. news story as she played Mrs. Claus in a Christmas parade.
From that point on, the chase is on and the action never lets up! Davis and Jackson are great in their roles with fine support from Craig Bierko (Sour Grapes, Thirteenth Floor) as the handsome but deadly Timothy; David Morse in a brief role as Davis' former fiance(?); and Brian Cox as a man who knows who Davis really is.
The climax is breathtaking, and this is one of the best action movies made in the past ten years! As contrived and overblown as it may seem, it still rocks!!!

Summary: Long Kiss Just Alright
Review: While watching this film I was struck at how many other films seemed to influence this one (La Femme Nikita, Die Hard, True Lies, Lethal Weapon, and probably Pulp Fiction ergo the prescence of Samuel L. Jackson). Alas, the whole is not the sum of these parts. Geena Davis is credible in her role of schooolteacher with amnesia whose prior life as CIA assassin slowly emerges at the most inappropriate time. Jackson gives fine support, as usual. The movie is rarely boring. That said the plot is convoluted at times. The stuntwork and special effects are good but they seem more showy and noisy and don't seem to service the plot. On a final note, the plot hatched by the CIA renegades in the film involves staging a massacre so that they can get more funding and then blame it on the Arabs. In light of 9/11 it would be questionable as to whether this film should be shown considering that this film is essentially mind candy.

Summary: politically correct Hollywood garbage
Review: I don't hold spy thrillers to high standards of plausibility, but there are limits beyond which politically correct Hollywood impulses make these productions painful to watch. Apparently Arabs are simply unacceptable villains as terrorists--who could imagine Arabs indulging in terror? The CIA (or its nameless intelligence agency stand-in) is at the top of the Hollywood list, however (followed by neo-Nazis and businessmen). Except it's the CIA from an alternate universe: all-knowing, all-competent. This movie manages to up the P.C. a notch beyond the others, however. Not only is the CIA going to kill thousands in Niagara Falls in a poison gas attack to help it lobby for a budget increase, it's going to leave the body of an innocent Arab at the scene for a scapegoat. You would think that they would be too embarrassed to keep this in circulation after 9/11, but being P.C. means never having to say you're sorry.

Summary: Wow Humm Baby! Jerry Mouse! Cute!
Review: Genna Davis gives a good performance as a woman trying to remember her past as a secret agent. Unlike her previous Oscar winning gem in The Accidental Tourist, she does a 180 degree turn in this role as a character smooth as silk & cold as ice. Samuel L. Jackson is once again one of the most diverse actors in Hollywood with this supporting role. Overall, this is a surprisingly good action drama with lots of suspense. It works!

Summary: will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat!
Review: This movie is stupendous from the beginning to the end! Geena Davis plays the part of a woman who has had amnesia for eight years and bore a daughter and doesn't know who the father is. She is the average good mother with no idea that her past was filled with just the opposite of that tranquil representation. She has hired Samuel Jackson, a second-rate gumshoe, to try and trace her background. By chance he stumbles upon a clue, but before he can get to her, she is attacked in her home by a madman out to kill her. She discovers she has amazing skills in defense. She and Samuel team up to chase down the clues he has found and end up in a dangerous game of espionage, murder and more! The movie was thrilling, with just enough touches of humor and wit to give it a humanistic touch. The movie is smooth, connected and thrilling from the beginning to end. Enjoy!
