Academy Award-winner (1989 Best Supporting Actress) Geena Davis (Thelma and Louis, A League of Their Own) and Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park) star in this explosive, action-packed thriller from director Renny Harlin (liffhanger, Die Hard 2: Die Harder). After eight years of amnesia, schoolteacher Samantha Cain (Davis) learns she was once a lethal assassin for the CIA...and now her former employers want her dead. Pursued by a hi-tech army of corrupt government renegades, Samantha teams up with a wise-cracking detective (Jackson) who helps her uncover her past before it buries them both. Featuring blistering special effects and eye-popping stunts, The Long Kiss Good Night is one fun, mind-blowin' thrill ride!
"...as an actioner with the requisite amounts of humor and heart, The Long Kiss Goodnight is a lot of fun." Christine James, Boxoffice Magazine
Editor's Note
Stricken with amnesia eight years earlier, a small-town schoolteacher and mother hires a private eye to help her uncover her past. When it's discovered she's a former CIA operative--and that her "accident" was actually an assassination attempt--she and the detective are thrown into an automatic weapons-fueled, life-and-death struggle with the bad guys.
Plot Summary
Nice, quiet Samantha lives in a pleasant town, with her beautiful daughter... and amnesia. After she's brutally attacked, Sam makes a stab at remembering her mysterious past. Little by little, she recalls that she was once Charly, a bad-to-the-bone, highly-trained government assassin, who knew too much about her employer's dirty dealings. Her former colleagues thought was dead -- until now. Soon, they're out to do everything they can to kill her.| All the while, benign Samantha is slowing transforming into the ruthless Charly. And that's good, because she will need ALL of her killer instincts in order to survive...

"...Supersexy and action-charged....Davis is a dazzler..." 10/31/1996 p.76Sight and Sound
"...A superbly entertaining action movie....Spectacular effects, stunts and editing..." 12/01/1996 p.52-3 Variety
"...[A] fantastical actioner about the potential for good and evil within the human character, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT has a jokey good time with its outlandish pyrotechnics and offbeat character interplay....Muscular and visceral..." 10/07/1996 Los Angeles Times
"...THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT is a tour de force of technical brilliance, with flashes of humor and a wild spirit of adventure..." 10/11/1996 p.F2 Chicago Sun-Times
"...Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson prove they're game in this movie, as they trade quips in the breaks between special effects sequences. And he action is what we expect: sensational, violent and loud..." 10/11/1996 p.38 James Berardinelli's ReelViews 7 of 10
...Jackson is magnificent, and I'm going to recommend the film largely on the basis of his turn as Mitch... this is the kind of delightful performance that deserves to be seen. Jackson adds more than a dash of humor to the action mix, throwing out one-liners guaranteed to send audiences into paroxysms of laughter...

5 of 5 Woohoo! Saturday, January 15, 2000
Tom from Stamford Connecticut
Does this movie deserve an Oscar? Of course not. Is it a riveting motion picture experience? nah. But is it entertaining? Absolutely. So the movie gets a little silly at times, big deal. In terms of pure enjoyment, I place this movie higher than almost anything. (Pulp fiction is always an exception) This movie mixes Action with humor and has Sam Jackson at his best. (playing Mr. cool) all in all a great buy. Was this review helpful?
