Movie Review

The Long Kiss Goodnight featured two outstanding stars, an original plot, and a potentially good outcome. They didn't work with it. The movies was disgusting and horrid, with little sense of realism. Charly Baltimore is hard to like and you'd wish she would just die. The Long Kiss Goodnight failed miserably in every aspect. Full movie review »

Samantha Caine who, after a traumatic accident, begins to remember her previous life as a cold-blooded assassin working for the U.S. Government. The private detective she's hired to investigate her past is drawn into the fray as she goes on the run from old enemies, and he becomes her sidekick. Eventually all things come together as her past and present collide and her enemies threaten her family. She must decide just who and what she is and either let them die or save the day. So the scenario is a bit cheesy, the action scenes are well enough and the effects are generally good. But despite Davis' best attempts to inject moments of metaphysical reflection into her character and Jackson's frantic attempts to maintain his dignity, the human dimensions are not strong enough.
