Once upon a time (1996) there was this little film made which reconfirmed that Gena Davis can act anybody off the screen - we all knew S. L. Jackson was no chump change. Fast paced, unexpected reversals, all help complete this... Full review
Prediction of 9-11 or just a kick ass action film?

Geena Davis's washed up bleach-blonde head needs to stay the hell away from Samuel L. Jackson! What are those two doing in the same movie together?? This movie was worse than Room at the top by adamant and Geena Davis has... Full review

it made me laugh and it made me cry...but most of all it made me think. in 1996 i probably laughed at the concept of my own beloved government perpetrating such a dastardly deed. now i have to say the movie... Full review

A highly motivated and adept action film director, Renny Harlin has managed to make a name for himself in the American film business despite a number of creative and personal setbacks. Arguably the best film of the series, Harlin immediately got involved in some high profile projects in 1990 due to the success of the film. ... Full Review

It's a popcorn movie, very light and tasty. Despite killing oodles of people, both main characters turn out to be noble after all. That's right, amnesia, one of the favorite plot props for soap operas. ... Full Review

Camera work, stunt work, special effects and other credits are up to snuff, but "The Long Kiss Goodnight" is far from it. The Long Kiss Goodnight" is a tour de force of technical brilliance, with flashes of humor and a wild spirit of adventure signifying that you're not supposed to take it too seriously, but the cumulative impact of its avalanche of mayhem is so numbing that it's enough to shrivel your soul. ...

San Francisco Chronicle
But lousy as the film is, Davis has undeniable punch as a cartoonish shoot-'em-up type: grunting, gunning, slashing, dangling from nerve-racking heights and wriggling out of death traps, sometimes in her underwear. It soon develops that peaceful mom Samantha was formerly government assassin Charly, a secret agent enmeshed in a complex plot to prevent CIA bad apples from smuggling arms while setting off a massive terrorist bomb as a diversion. ...
