But her mysterious former employers want her dead, she pursued by Hi-Tech Assassins from a Corrupted Goverment Renegades. Samantha is helped by a low-rent, wise-cracking Private Detective (Samuel L. Jackson), who help her uncover her past before they turn up dead. Directed by Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4:The Dream Master, Cliffhanger, Cutthroat Island) made a Extremely Entertaining Action film that knows how to thrill the audiences. The Plot might seems Hokey and Fat-Fetched for some but Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), who wrote this film does actually works. This has some of the most spectacular action scenes, ever filmed. Davis looks great in this. The film ended up being a Box Office Disappointment in Theatres. This has an terrific score by Alan Silverstri (Predator) and Dazzling Visual Effects. This is a Action-Charged Flick. Don't miss it. Larry King plays himself in a Cameo near the Closing Credits. Super 35. Grade:A-. A cool little Friday night thriller. The Long Kiss Goodnight is an action=packed thrill ride that manages to do what very few movies can: it keeps its viewers in suspense for the duration of the script. Special effects are spectacular, the acting leaves nothing to be desired, are there is terrific chemistry between all of the actors involved. Geena Davis plays Samantha Caine, a school teacher who has been under a severe attack of amnesia for eight years. Suddenly, people from her past begin popping back into her life, and she begins to remember little details to the point where she thirsts for the entire truth. With the help of Samuel L. Jackson, she goes on a mission to find out about her past, and why so many people want her dead. While the beginning will have you wondering whether or not you made a mistake in renting this, the ending and all thrills in between are well worth the wait. Geena Davis's performance is totally enthralling, as she switches from goody-goody school teacher to hit-girl with a bad attitude. Samuel L. Jackson is, as always, hilarious, exhibiting humor with his bad-boy outlook. Whether or not you're an action fan, this is one action hit that is well worth watching and buying if it suits your taste. politically correct Hollywood garbage 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.
