The Worst Film Ever

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I had seen this movie in last year and it was the best action movie of the 1990s. Their chemistry Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson was great, action was great, just the bridge explosion was good.Cerita ini best sangat. 7/10

I saw all of the Bourne Identity movies and enjoyed every one of them. However this movie, I am afraid beats all of them. Geena Davis should have received an Oscar for her performance in this one. But how in the world did the makers of this movie allow for the Bourne series to rip off this movie big time.....? Amnesiac assassin comes back with all skills intact and weirds out the ones who trained and equipped her. What in the world was the difference except a better plot? I did not think that Geena Davis could do this but she did. I recently saw a League of Their Own with my wife and She and I enjoyed it and then I saw this one and I was completely surprised with this edge of the seat performance and plot.please comment on this folks...please? I know the writer got 3 million dollars for this but come on fair is fair.Thank you.

Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) is a suburban teacher married to Hal (Tom Amandes) with a daughter. She suffered amnesia 8 years ago and has been hiring private detectives. However after so many years, she's down to the cheap unscrupulous Mitch Henessey (Samuel L. Jackson) and his assistant Trin (Melina Kanakaredes). Parts of her old personality starts to seep through after a car accident. Her name was Charly Baltimore and she was a skilled government assassin. People from her past starts coming back to kill her. Timothy (Craig Bierko) finds out that she's still alive and starts tracking her down as well as many others who would rather have her dead. Mitch uncovers a treasure trove of her past which she uses to call Dr. Nathan Waldman (Brian Cox).I love the idea of this movie. Shane Black has written some interesting hard boiled movies. I'm not as in love with director Renny Harlin's execution. The movie also bogs down with too many bad guys with too complicated of a story. The action is OK and there's lots of it. Davis and Jackson need to have better chemistry. I think Davis is a little too off-putting and angry. This movie has its moments but other movies with similar stories have been done better.

Hollywood's favorite spy plot in the post-Cold War era has ultra-secret agencies trying to justify their mission by fabricating new villains to replace the Soviets. In director Renny Harlin's high-octane actioneer "The Long Kiss Goodbye," Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, the Central Intelligence Agency fakes a terrorist attack at Niagara Falls so Congress won't slash its budget. What the CIA doesn't count on is the return of one of its top assassins, long-believed lifeless, who doesn't take anything lying down. New Line Cinema has cast the "Thelma & Louise" star as New England school teacher Samantha Caine who suffers from amnesia. Eight years earlier, she washed up on the New Jersey coast two months pregnant without a clue to her own identity. Since then she has paid a number of private eyes to recover her memory. When the CIA learns that she is still alive and breathing, the company dispatches a gang of assassins. Meanwhile, sleazy private eye Mitch Henessey ((Samuel L. Jackson of "Pulp Fiction") is a detective who specializes in blackmail. He has found traces of Samantha's past when she was Charlene Baltimore.Scenarist Shane Black, who wrote "Lethal Weapon" (1987) and "The Last Boy Scout" (1991) and more recently "Iron Man 3," penned a trim but improbable screenplay that neatly knits together all the loose ends and packs one hell of a wallop. The dialogue crackles with blasphemous irreverence. Finnish helmer Renny Harlin ("Cliffhanger" and "Die Hard 2: Die Harder") shows that he still has the knack when it comes to orchestrating knock-out action scenes. Harlin and Black kiss off any sense of credibility as their protagonists survive too many crashes and look too cool riddling the bad guys with bullets. Davis acquits herself well as the super-heroine in a gender reversal of James Bond. This is the kind of free-for-all, tongue-in-cheek action epic that media watchdogs like to condemn for its cartoon violence and inappropriate behavior. When Caine becomes Charlie Baltimore, she spews profanities of the worst sort, laps up liquor like ice water and puffs on tobacco cigarettes like a chimney. If you're tired of cooking and watching men destroy the planet, "The Long Kiss Goodnight" is just the kind of rollicking nonsense to set your sights on when you're looking for something memorable with lots of audacious combat sequences. The scene where our heroine is strapped to a water wheel is terrific. Craig Bierko and David Morse make venomous villains. "The Long Kiss Goodnight" never wears out its welcome and it ranks as one of Geena Davis' best action flicks.
