Amazon.com essential video
Geena Davis and her former husband, director Renny Harlin, attempted to pick up the pieces after the debacle of their box-office disaster, Cutthroat Island. What they came up with was this repulsive ode to American film noir, based on a script by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) about an amnesiac schoolteacher (Davis) who searches for her true identity and finds she is actually a secret agent immersed in a deadly plot to topple the government. Mechanistic in its violence, obnoxious in its attitude, the film makes Davis, a once-promising actress, nothing more than a special effect. She tosses one to sadists in the audience by allowing her character to be beaten, punched unconscious, and tortured. The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, plus Dolby surround sound, theatrical trailer, cast information, optional French-language soundtrack and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

 The Long Kiss Goodnight July 31, 2008
I love this movie. A lot of action and Geena Davis is great as an action star.
 Another favorite July 20, 2008
I never understood why this movie wasn't a monster hit. I remember coming out the theatre after seeing this movie and just thinking WOW. Geena Davis, despite many cheesy lines, had me strutting like there was nothing I couldn't do. Yes, this movie is predictable and again cheesy but it's just so much fun. I can't believe that it's been twelve years since it was released. I've seen this numerous times. Whenever it's on TV, I just have to watch. If you haven't seen this film, you don't know what you're missing.
It's all about attitude.... May 13, 2008
This movie is all about attitude -- each of the major characters comes on in a particularly over-the-top way, which is good because the plot's pretty thin. Watching Geena Davis morph from housewife to assassin is pretty cool, though, and Samuel L. Jackson plays the reluctant, stumbling hero very well. Another entertaining movie that the critics savaged, but which you'll probably enjoy greatly.
A long-time favorite! May 7, 2008
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Sam Jackson, I presume? I enjoy films that can stand up to multiple viewings like this thriller... a predecessor to "The Bourne Identity" and a flawed yet praiseworthy entry into the amnesiac suspense genre... The project's sense of humor makes it enjoyable despite the director's limitations with such talented actors.
The Long Kiss Goodnight May 2, 2008
I Have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and not only avoid Triggers, But happy endings are good therepy. On a scale of one to ten I rate this a strong nine.
