	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Long Kiss Goodnight
		The Long Kiss Goodnight, the final Renny Harlin-Geena Davis collaboration, is about a happy, middle-class single mother who happens to be an amnesiac and wakes up one day to the truth about her past: she is a professional assassin for the CIA.
		LKG advocates self-reliance, solitude, and immediate justice, making it fundamentally right-wing in nature (but then that is the nature of the action genre on the whole).
		The cinematic success of The Long Kiss Goodnight is due to two things — the vitality of the star and the expertise of the director.

	Kiss 'Goodnight' goodbye
		In "The Long Kiss Goodnight," Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) is like any ordinary housewife--normal enough to be a grade-school teacher.
		In "The Long Kiss Goodnight," he constructs the action with virtually no flair and directs his leading lady into a humorously terrible performance.
		Overall, "The Long Kiss Goodnight" is an example of a mediocre-at-best script made even worse by incompetent direction.

	The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) Starring: Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Yvonne Zima - Three Movie Buffs Review
		In The Long Kiss Goodnight, a happy homemaker discovers that she was actually a trained assassin.
		The Long Kiss Goodnight is one of the most purely entertaining action movies of the last decade.
		And the fact that she was 40 years old when she starred in The Long Kiss Goodnight just goes to show that casting directors shouldn't rush to the 20-somethings every time they cast a female lead.

	The Long Kiss Goodnight Movie Review, DVD Release - Filmcritic.com
		The Long Kiss Goodnight starts with one hell of an idea -- suburban schoolteacher Samantha (Davis) has had amnesia for eight years, and when an escaped convict tries to kill her after he sees her on television, the truth of her past is slowly revealed.
		Along with private eye Mitch (Samuel L. Jackson), Samantha discovers the reality of her life -- she is a cold-blooded assassin in the employ of the CIA under deep cover, by the name of Charly.
		The Long Kiss Goodnight has other problems, most notably a poor editing job, needed explanatory sequences obviously excised from the film, and a disconcerting similarity of Charly at the end of the film to MacGyver, but what's the point of worrying?

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT
		Every film requires a certain suspension of disbelief, but THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT ($20) requires one to take their disbelief, lock it in a box and bury it in a hole six feet deep.

		While I was still in Pusan, I read thousands of fan mail with their countless pledges of undying love and devotion, the little hearts drawn over my name on cute teddy-bear pattern stationery.
		I drank in his kiss as he maneuvered himself on top of me, pinning me onto the bed with his weight.
		He kept me in one piece the same way he kept the team in one piece, with the same calmness that had followed him through twelve long years in the international spotlight, through countless triumphs, defeats, and criticism.

		THE PREMISE for The Long Kiss Goodnight shows promise: An amnesiac New Jersey housewife, Samantha Caine (Geena Davis), turns out to be Charlie Baltimore, a Femme Nikitastyle assassin.
		The Long Kiss Goodnight relies on the two laws of the modern action movie: A) when stuck for what to do next, send in some snipers in a helicopter; B) when shooting fish in a barrel, make sure the audience thinks the fish asked for it.
		The Long Kiss Goodnight (R; 120 min.), directed by Renny Harlin, written by Shane Black, photographed by Guillermo Navarro and starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Long Kiss Goodnight
		Early in Renny Harlin's The Long Kiss Goodnight there is a reference to the Marvel comic book heroes The X-Men, whose enemy (the Juggernaut) could only be stopped if you ripped off his helmet and attacked the frail psyche within.
		In The Long Kiss Goodnight, the helmet is amnesia and the psyche within is one hundred eighty degrees the opposite of frail.
		With her long hair cropped short and dyed blonde to boot, is the cigarette smoking and foul mouthed Charly a second persona or the real deal?

		F for 'flippant' ('Nimble, voluble; displaying unbecoming levity'); 'facetious' ('jocose, waggish'); 'facile' ('accomplished with little effort'); and 'foul-mouthed' (the stars of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang actually apologise to the audience for their liberal use of the F-word).
		Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's self-consciously cine-literate title references both super-spy James Bond and scabrous critic Pauline Kael, for whom it encapsulated the alluring shallowness of modern cinema.
		While everyone from Mel Gibson to Johnny Knoxville was at some point linked to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the final choice of Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer as the male leads seems either audacious or foolhardy, considering their combined predilections for untrammelled self-indulgence.

	Review: The Long Kiss Goodnight
		In the case of The Long Kiss Goodnight, it's especially frustrating, though, because the basic idea is so intriguing -- the perfect background for a top-notch noir thriller.
		At the same time, Sam is involved in a car wreck, and, as the result of a head injury, her past personae -- a government assassin named Charly Baltimore -- begins to resurface.
		I wasn't wild about The Long Kiss Goodnight as a whole, but this is the kind of delightful performance that deserves to be seen.

		For a long time, that may have been as far as it went, till you worked up the nerve to move to rouse deeper familiarity within each other.
		When was the last time that kissing was as far as it went and you kissed just for the hell of it—just to share a moment with your spouse that was focused on each other, and speaking of your love for them.
		Kissing can be anything, I think—even just something to do to pass the time until you get a work visa!

	The Long Kiss Goodnight \| The Brunching Shuttlecocks
		The comedy team of Harlin-Davis, fresh from their self-induced exile after the Cutthroat Island Fiasco, have gone deeper into the analysis of marriage with their latest joint venture, The Long Kiss Goodnight.
		Don't bother bringing your brain to this one, leave it at home with a nice Shakespearean text and a cup of Earl Gray, this one's for the gut, for the spleen, and for the adrenaline.

	MTV Movies Blog » Sam Jackson Puckers Up For ‘Long Kiss Goodnight’ Sequel
		Samuel L. Jackson told MTV News that he’s eager to revisit the hard-drinking, fast-thinking detective he made famous in “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” and is working with director Renny Harlin on a sequel to the eleven-year-old action thriller.
		The idea of making a sequel to “The Long Kiss Goodnight” WITHOUT Geena Davis but WITH Samuel Jackson, is surpassed in its bizarreness only by the idea of making it WITH ace hack Renny Harlin.
		the long kiss goodnight is by far one of my favs of all time but you have to leave geena in there.

	arbitrary constant >> film > snippets 01.05
		The script for The Long Kiss Goodnight is reputed to have cost director Renny Harlin some $4m dollars.
		For anyone that confuses this offering with Kiss the Girls (confuses because both films involve Samuel L. Jackson), the reality of Harlin's expectation could be guessed at; for anyone that knows The Long Kiss Goodnight in its own right, they will already be painfully aware of its overabundant tendencies.
		A sympathetic reading may suggest this symbolises the fragmentary nature of amnesia and its devastating effect on the individual and their family; a less gracious interpretation would look towards the script and ask whether the $4m investment was either wise, or indeed even worth it.

	The Long Kiss Goodnight \| the Hathor Legacy
		Some rambling thoughts on the title: it strikes me that the “kiss goodnight” bit is supposed to reference the mommyhood, and perhaps the “long kiss” part is supposed to evoke something a bit more sexy/racy.
		The reason I didn’t much enjoy Long Kiss Goodnight is that I had enjoyed watching a character who wasn’t about her biological destiny.
		I did like how at the end of Long Kiss Goodnight, they did make it clear that although Charly was now a teacher, and had her child and a nice guy - she was still very much Charly and hadn’t done away with her skillz.

		Okay, so sometimes I call this movie "The Long Kiss Goodbye" instead of "The Long Kiss Goodnight," but that does not detract from the fact this is one of my favorite action films from the post-"Die Hard" era (yes, more than "Speed").
		The hook is fairly simple: Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) has had amnesia for eight years when suddenly Mitch Henessey (Samuel L. Jackson), the fourth-rate private investigator she hired to work on her case, actually stumbles over a clue.

		There are two schools of thought regarding action films: if the action is strong enough to distract from the plot holes, the films don't really have to make too much sense; if the action is tepid, the film had better be cogent.
