Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

mohdaqif I had seen this movie in last year and it was the best action movie of the 1990s. Their chemistry Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson was great, action was great, just the bridge explosion was good.Cerita ini best sangat. 7/10

gavin6942 A woman (Geena Davis) suffering from amnesia begins to recover her memories after trouble from her past finds her again.So this was apparently an attempt by Geena Davis' husband (not Jeff Goldblum) to get her career jump-started and bring her into action films. Well, did it work? Maybe, maybe not. This is not a bad film and has its share of fans, so it has a certain level of success. But by no means do I think of Geena Davis as an action star, or really much of anything beyond the 1980s. (I think she's great, but the fact remains her biggest hits were in the 1980s.) What makes this movie better than average is Sam Jackson. Sincerely. When he first arrives and talks about the butt pounding in prison... that is classic Jackson.

seymourblack-1 Action thrillers are designed to provide their audiences with excitement, entertainment and escapism and "The Long Kiss Goodnight" certainly meets all of these criteria. A sequence during which the movie's two main protagonists race down a corridor followed by a rapidly accelerating fireball and escape by leaping out of a high-level window exemplifies this perfectly, as the stunt, which is obviously far-fetched, is extremely exciting to watch as well as being laugh-out-loud funny. The stunts, explosions and chases in this film are all brilliantly staged and together with its very witty script and lively pace, contribute to an end product that's really enjoyable.Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) is a schoolteacher in a small town in Pennsylvania who enjoys a very pleasant lifestyle with her good natured fiancé and her young daughter. Her only real problem is that she can't remember anything about her life before the occasion eight years earlier when she was found on a New Jersey beach suffering from amnesia. Things start to change however, after she's involved in a car crash and a blow to the head triggers some disturbing flashbacks and she suddenly displays a level of dexterity with a knife that leads her to believe that, in her previous life, she must've been a chef!! Mitch Henessey (Samuel L Jackson), a private detective that Samantha had hired to check out her past, arrives at her house with some information just after she's been involved in a fight with a one-eyed convict who'd escaped from prison after seeing TV coverage of her taking part in her town's Christmas parade. This violent man obviously held her responsible for the loss of his eye and was out for revenge but the extraordinary combat skills that Samantha uses in subduing him shock both her and her fiancé.Mitch's information leads to the discovery that, in her past, Samantha had been a government assassin called Charly Baltimore who'd succeeded in preventing some corrupt CIA personnel from detonating a bomb at Niagara Falls and blaming the atrocity on terrorists in order to elicit more funding from Congress. Unfortunately, Mitch and Samantha / Charly also learn that a new group is planning to carry out a similar attack and that, as they're seen as a threat to that group, their lives are in immediate danger. Their only option is to go on the run and this leads them into further violent encounters when amongst other things, Charly gets tortured, her daughter gets kidnapped and Mitch gets seriously injured.Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson work well individually and together in this movie. They make a great team as she excels in her role as an action heroine and he provides a whole series of marvellous one-liners. The humour that runs through the movie is also pivotal to its success because it makes the most unbelievable action sequences seem totally acceptable and induces its audience to cheerfully overlook inconvenient details such as how someone with no background and a made up name could've had the necessary formal qualifications to get a job as a schoolteacher. Similarly, the potentially negative impact of the film's high body count, strong violence and swearing is also successfully mitigated and made more acceptable because of its clever use of comedy.

Maziun *SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERSThe tile is a reference to the fact that Samantha kissed her other personality goodbye. She stopped searching about her past – that's it. It was probably inspired by the movie "The long goodbye" by Robert Altman – Samuel L. Jackson is watching this movie in the hotel.The movie is very stupid at some places . How did the one-eyed prisoner escaped from the prison ? Plot hole. Why didn't he broke into Samantha's house or kill her with a sniper gun from the distance , while she was for example shopping ? The motivation for the main villains to do the bad things is ABSURD. Little girl hides in the worst place possible.The movie is also very cheesy and unrealistic sometimes . Samantha seems immune to pain , cold and has TOO MUCH STRENGTH. The assassination by the one-eyed guy is ridiculous , same as the flashbacks with Charlie. Oh , and the little girl is annoying.Thankfully there are some good things here. Geena Davis gives a good performance and is very convincing with both of her personalities. Samuel L. Jackson is fun as always and David Morse is solid as always. Renny Harlin always makes sure that his movies aren't boring and this is no exception. I guess he really put some effort to make this movie entertaining with his wife (Davis) as the main star. Shane Black , the writer of "Lethal weapon" provides us some incredibly funny moments and dialogues . Thanks to the humor watching this movie is rather painless. The scene "What I told you about smoking ?" is one of the funniest I've seen.It's not a good movie , but it's too good to be "so bad , it's good " type of movie. This is no "Bourne identity". It's cheesy and stupid , but thankfully there is a good ironic distance to the whole story . It doesn't take itself too seriously and if you lower your expectations you should have one night of mindless fun. It's certainly a better action movie with woman in main role than "Tomb raider". I give it 6/10.
