Critic Reviews for The Long Kiss Goodnight

Audience Reviews for The Long Kiss Goodnight

• Dec 20, 2014

  This is an excellent action movie, underrated in my opinion. Geena Davis shines in the dual roles of amnesia-victim schoolteacher and CIA assassin. It's unusual for an action film to have a female lead, not terribly successful prior to the Hunger Games films. Davis, though well-known for her Thelma and Louise and A League of their Own roles, is surprisingly adept at playing the dual roles. I thought her dialogue as "Charlie" overdid it though. Samuel L. Jackson is great as well, very reminiscent of his Die Hard 3 role. In fact, the whole movie reminds me a lot of Die Hard 3. Villain Craig Bierko is good too, in a wild-eyed amoral evil sort of way. The film's climax at Niagara Falls reminds me of several Hitchcock movies, so while it isn't too original-why not copy the best? All of this: amnesia, wise-cracking sidekick, diabolical villains, and government conspiracy have been done before, but that really doesn't matter. Like the Die Hard series or an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, it's a fun ride.

  From director Renny Harlin comes the explosive action film The Long Kiss Goodnight. After being attacked in her home, school teacher Samantha Caine discovers that she used to be a government assassin and takes off with a private investigator to uncover her past. Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Brian Cox lead the cast and give sold performances. The plot is a little hard to follow, but the fight scenes and chases are incredibly well-done and keep the film moving. Though it goes a little overboard with all its government conspiracies, The Long Kiss Goodnight is extraordinarily entertaining and a lot of fun.

  A VERY 90's action-thriller that manages to be enjoyable against all odds. The plot can be summed up as a more ridiculous version of "The Bourne Identity" and Geena Davis is rarely convincing as a tough-as-nails assassin (especially when she has to switch personalities), but her explosive chemistry with co-star Samuel L. Jackson (who has some hilariously quotable lines) keeps the enterprise afloat. Plus you have screenwriter Shane Black (Lethal Weapons, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3) writing a slew of great one-liners that truly elevates this action-clunker into delightful camp. Delivers enough cool action, grin-inducing one-liners, and good acting to not be too taxing on the brain cells.

  This is such a strange movie (Geena Davis is an amnesiac bad-ass and Samuel L. Jackson is her blundering sidekick) that I liked it a lot more than it probably deserves.
