Nice, quiet Samantha lives in a pleasant town, with her beautiful daughter... and amnesia. After she's brutally attacked, Sam makes a stab at remembering her mysterious past. Little by little, she recalls that she was once Charly, a bad-to-the-bone, highly-trained government assassin, who knew too much about her employer's dirty dealings. Her former colleagues thought was dead -- until now. Soon, they're out to do everything they can to kill her.
All the while, benign Samantha is slowing transforming into the ruthless Charly. And that's good, because she will need ALL of her killer instincts in order to survive...
Stricken with amnesia eight years earlier, a small-town schoolteacher and mother hires a private eye to help her uncover her past. When it's discovered she's a former CIA operative--and that her "accident" was actually an assassination attempt--she and the detective are thrown into an automatic weapons-fueled, life-and-death struggle with the bad guys.

Long Kiss Goodnight Reviews:
"...Supersexy and action-charged....Davis is a dazzler..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"...A superbly entertaining action movie....Spectacular effects, stunts and editing..."
-- Leslie Felperin, Sight and Sound
"...[A] fantastical actioner about the potential for good and evil within the human character, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT has a jokey good time with its outlandish pyrotechnics and offbeat character interplay....Muscular and visceral..."-- Todd McCarthy, Variety
"...THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT is a tour de force of technical brilliance, with flashes of humor and a wild spirit of adventure..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"...Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson prove they're game in this movie, as they trade quips in the breaks between special effects sequences. And he action is what we expect: sensational, violent and loud..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Great! A great movie! Submitted by donnjimmiesmith (Oceanside, CA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
The Long Kiss of Action Great action film. Geenia Davis' role of a mother discovering she is an assasin is one of her best. Samuel Jackson provides great comedy and drama to his supporting role. It is one of my favorites. Submitted by cpitzer (San Antonio, TX, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
All around good action Gena Davis does a excellent job portraying confusion. She shows how well and actress can play a part with so many different personalities. Samuel Jackson keeps the action fowing with his own style of hunor. Submitted by a reviewer (Darmstadt, Germany) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Without Sam Jackson we wouldn't have movies like this With Samuel L. Jackson in top form you get the best action you could ask for.
If you've seen him before, you'll love him even more in this one. This is the best I've ever seen Geena Davis. I couldn't imagine her in the same movie with Jackson, but now I'd like to see them do another one. Submitted by Reedbigdogs (Black Creek, WI) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Ditto to all the Above Ditto to all the above comments. Definitely worth a watch. Samuel Jackson is a riot in this movie with his own brand of comedy that only enhances this movie. I highly recommend this movie if you like action movies and this one spares no expense believe me. I rest my case. Submitted by Johnny (I Live In A Van Down By The River) Was This Review Helpful?
