Summary: It's bad on so many levels
Review: Do not buy this movie. If it's on Showtime, change the channel. You will do yourself a favor. You will save brain cells too. I don't want to waste your time repeating the above paragraph over and over just because I have the space. Choose a noose over this movie, it's over faster and you'll feel the same afterwards.

Summary: Rock'em Sock'em
Review: If you had a husband who was a film director, you'd probably make films that are more vanity pieces than ensembles, too. Sometimes it doesn't go so well for Geena Davis (Cutthroat Island) and sometimes it blows the roof off, as in this incredible actioner. "The Long Kiss Goodnight" is unbelievable, hokey fun, nonstop, brilliant action and a wonderful showcase for Geena Davis' charm and talent. To reiterate the story, as every good reviewer should do, even when the previous 43 reviewers have already done so, Davis plays Samantha Caine, amnesiac schoolteacher. After a bizarre auto wreck (which never explains the fate of the other passenger, oddly enough) Sam begins behaving oddly, more agressive. Years ago, she had hired a string of PIs to help her discover her past. Only one, drunk Mitch Hennessey (Samuel L. Jackson)ever discovered anything useful - and it is this that triggers Sam's old company into action. Turns out she was actually Charlie Baltimore, spy and assassin, for the US government. Now that Charlie's back, the "good guys" don't know what to do with her, so they decide to retire her, permanently. Their mistake. This film is full of jaw-dropping, eye-popping scenes the like of which you've never seen. The most amazing sequence is Sam & Mitch's escape from a train station. The Charlie personality takes over, blows away the bad guys and she & Mitch fall three stories to certain death, except that Charlie has nabbed a machine gun and shoots away the ice covering on a nearby river so the two land reasonably safely. Implausible, sure, but beautifully shot, balletic and stunning. Who says action movies have to make sense? Don't look for depth here, you won't find it. But the heroes are appropriately invincible, the bad guys ooze evil, the politicians are smarmy. It's all you want and more. Give it a shot.

Summary: A very entertaining thriller.
Review: This film is meant to be viewed as a thriller/action picture and, seen as such it is very good indeed. The central character suffers from memory loss that lasts for eight years after which she begins to regain her memory. She discovers that her old character was nothing like her current persona but the movie never addresses any of the issues that arise from this. As long as you do not expect any probing into the depths of a troubled mind, you will not be disappointed. Samantha Caine (Davis) plays a school teacher who seems to have a perfect life according to the middle class version of the American dream. The trouble is that one thing is missing. Her past is a complete blank until the start of her new life eight years earlier. One day, a blow to her head starts to bring some memories back. Meanwhile, long ago she hired Mitch Henessey (Jackson) a cheap private detective to try to discover her past. By coincidence, Mitch having given up on the case, stumbles on a clue to Samantha's past. By another coincidence, a one eyed felon sees a short news clip on the TV in his prison cell. He recognises Samantha as the woman who took the sight from his eye eight years earlier, breaks jail and heads off to kill her. The chain of events set off by these coincidences leads Samantha to discover her earlier identity as Charly Baltimore, government agent and she is confronted by former colleagues who now wish to kill her to cover up their misdeeds. That all adds up to enough of a plot for this type of film and it's backed up by fine performances by Jackson and Davis. The latter is very convincing in the way that she switches from Samantha to Charly and Jackson is just as good as in Pulp Fiction. The script is good too. Slick and well paced and very funny in parts. The movie was let down really just by the action sequences which were too often just too implausible to be satisfying. That however is just a minor criticism of a movie which is exactly what it sets out to be, an entertaining thriller.

Summary: Made my "Top 10 Guilty Pleasures" list
Review: Yes, the action and violence are way over the top and the situations are completely implausible but I don't care. "Long Kiss Goodnight" is absolutely funny and exciting. Samuel Jackson is stone-cold hilarious and Geena Davis is alternately endearing and scary. Shane (Lethal Weapon) Black's script is jam-packed with zingers and one-liners that had me in absolute stitches. Brian Cox gets the best line, however, when describing an irritating little dog. You MUST hear it for yourself!

Summary: Pulp action fantasy
Review: A witty, violent action fantasy about a glamorous female secret agent battling crooked government officials. Samuel L. Jackson, in ultrahip, ultracool pimp attire, does a brilliant rehash of his role in "Pulp Fiction". Trashy but brilliant comic strip hokum.

Summary: Geena Davis looks great
Review: I think this is a great movie, very entertaining. I think Geena Davis is a talented actor, I admire a woman, who does at least some of the stunts herself. I just loved the part where she changes her looks, from a house wife, with long brown curly hair, to a sexy spy, with short blond hair. There is lots of great action sceenes, I don't think Samantha Caine would survive any of it in real life, but that's not the point in a movie is it? She jumps out of a building, survives car crashes, explosions and lots of other stuff. If you like this movie, I also recomend: "Face/Off" "Con Air" "The Rock" and "Bad Boys"

Summary: A worthy action thriller...
Review: With its "Leathal Weapon" style set up, 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is an entertaining action flick starring the brilliant Samuel L. Jackson and Geena Davis. Its been a while since I saw it and if I get the chance I'll watch it again. Its one of those films that is worthy of a second viewing. Don't miss it.

Summary: Too this day its still my fav movie
Review: I have been watching this movie for atleast 3 years now at least once a week, it is still my favorite movie. This movie is not just action either, it is a comedy. With such great lines as "Mommy are we gonna die." "No honey, no you're not gonna die," strikes a match "They are" If you watch the movie you start to feel the characters pain and joys. In the movie you are moved by the little girl pounding on her mothers chest screaming at her to not die. Its a wonderful film in almost every way.

Summary: A RIDCULOUS SPECTACLE OF FREE VIOLENCE
Review: THis movie is a shame. I'm sorry that Jackson is in it, because he's a great actor, even when make brainless and entertaining movies as "Deep Blue Sea". But in this one, everything is cliche. THe action is over-steotyphed, Davis doesn't convince anytime as a "hard" woman, the dialogues are outrageous, ludicrous. It's a lousy film from beginning to end.
