a5c7b9f00b A woman suffering from amnesia begins to recover her memories after trouble from her past finds her again. Samantha Caine, suburban homemaker, is the ideal mom to her 8 year old daughter Caitlin. She lives in Honesdale, PA, has a job teaching school and makes the best Rice Krispie treats in town. But when she receives a bump on her head, she begins to remember small parts of her previous life as a lethal, top-secret agent. Her old chums in the Chapter are now out to kill her so she enlists the help of a cheap detective named Mitch. As Samantha remembers more and more of her previous life, she becomes deadlier and more resourceful. Both Mitch and Charly proceed to do the killing thing, the bleeding thing and the shooting thing. Schoolteacher Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) suffers from a bad case of amnesia and is being tortured by a mysterious past. With the help of the not too smart private investigator Mitch Hennesy (Samuel L. Jackson) she discovers her true identity: secret agent Charly Baltimore. They find out there's a conspiracy between the secret agency and Baltimore's worst enemy, gun-trader Timothy. So far for the story. What we're dealing with here is a very clever made action-comedy from Renny Harlin who also was responsible for e.g. Lethal Weapon and Die Hard II. I would go as far as to say this movie can best be described as a different version of Die Hard With A Vengeance. Only Bruce Willis is replaced by Geena Davis and the story is totally different of course. The high quality action, comedy and a lovely combination of these fine actors made me enjoy this one a lot. Sam Jackson, IMHO one of the greatest black American actors, is steady as always. I think its a shame we don't see that much movies with Geena. As well as many readers and submitters in IMDB, I think she did a lovely job in Thelma And Louise. Her acting in The Long Kiss Goodnight is definitely done with the same enthousiasm. My points: 8 out of 10. Let me start by saying overall I enjoyed The Long Kiss Goodnight. I would give it a 7/10. The Good: 1. Acting: Samuel L Jackson is entertaining in almost any role. In this movie he doesn't play his usual character, the type that is in control, instead Geena Davis is in control and Sam is along for the ride. His timing on his lines are great and he is the high point of the movie. Geena Davis also gives a great preformance as Samantha Caine/Charlie Baltimore. She is a believable action hero and I don't think too many other actresses could pull off the preformance Geena Does. 2. The Action: This is a very action packed movie. Things are pretty much always crashing or blowing up or someone is chasing someone else. The special effects are pretty good especially for being almost 8 years old. I can see some green screen stuff but it doesn't detract too much from the acting.<br/><br/>The Bad: 1. Why did it take half of the movie to set up the plot? This film needed to be edited in the script stage so that it didn't run as long as it did. Maybe a drama or something can run this long but people really need to be into the movie the entire time to sustain it. I think that if you can stick out the first half you will be pleseantly suprized the second half. 2. Geena Davis is cold weather and a tank top but she never seems cold. 3. Some things are unrealistic. Sam Jackson flies through a giant sign after he is blasted out of a room and then he lands in a tree and just gets up. When you see this part you will think it's a gag. overall fun movie 7/10 Great premise, terrible execution. The Long Kiss Goodnight was filmed from a script by American screenwriter Shane Black. The "long kiss goodnight" is a euphemism for death. In the opening narration, when Samantha (<a href="/name/nm0000133/">Geena Davis</a>) is explaining that the only thing she knows about her former self is a name, Charlene, she says that she has kissed Charlene goodnight. "Focal retrograde amnesia", a type of amnesia where memory for past events and personal information is lost, while the ability to remember new events is spared. Filming took place at multiple locations in the province of Ontario, Canada, e.g., Collingwood, Milton, Hamilton, Markham, Uxbridge, Toronto, and Niagara Falls. Some scenes were filmed at the Windemere House, a resort in Muskoka, Ontario, but when the resort burned down during the filming, they reshot the scenes at another resort, Milford Manor in Milton (Daedalus' hideout). The beginning scenes were shot in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Other filming locations in the U.S. included Atlantic City in New Jersey, the Chicago Pier, and Linnwood, Washington. It was a CIA plan to detonate a chemical bomb in downtown Niagara Falls on Christmas Eve, killing 4,000 civilians and then blaming Islamic terrorists in order to increase their funding and powers. As Timothy (<a href="/name/nm0081572/">Craig Bierko</a>) is locking Samantha/Charlene/Charly and her daughter Caitlin (<a href="/name/nm0956531/">Yvonne Zima</a>) in the freezer, Charly reveals that he is Caitlin's father. Nathan Waldman (<a href="/name/nm0004051/">Brian Cox</a>) was drowned at the mill, in the same "torture thingy" that Daedalus (<a href="/name/nm0001556/">David Morse</a>) was using on Samantha/Charley. She unties herself and gets the pistol from his pants while they're both under water.Charly saves the town from the bomb, saves Caitlin, and they both survive the explosion. Hennesey (<a href="/name/nm0000168/">Samuel L. Jackson</a>) becomes famous for his role in saving the town, goes on the Larry King Show, and is seen by his son and wife, her jaw dropped about a foot-and-a-half. The president asks Charly to return to governmental duty, but she refuses and goes back to being just Sam. In the final scene, however, she can't help from throwing a knife into a log where a cricket was chirping too loudly. One movie recommended by viewers who have seen The Long Kiss Goodnight is <a href="/title/tt0258463/">The Bourne Identity (2002)</a> (2002), in which an amnesic who was pulled out of the water with bullets in his back searches for clues to his identity. His story is continued in two sequels, <a href="/title/tt0372183/">The Bourne Supremacy (2004)</a> (2004) and <a href="/title/tt0440963/">The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)</a> (2007). For those who appreciate the mixture of high-octane action scenes with witty dialogue, many other action movies written by <a href="/name/nm0000948/">Shane Black</a> or produced by <a href="/name/nm0005428/">Joel Silver</a> are highly recommended, such as <a href="/title/tt0093409/">Lethal Weapon (1987)</a> (and its three sequels), <a href="/title/tt0102266/">The Last Boy Scout (1991)</a>, and <a href="/title/tt0107362/">Last Action Hero (1993)</a> (which effectively parodies the genre). <a href="/title/tt0095016/">Die Hard (1988)</a> can be considered the blueprint for this genre of movies, so this movie and its three sequels are also preferred viewing for fans of The Long Kiss Goodnight.
