The Long Kiss Goodnight

The Long Kiss Goodnight's immediate attractions of powerhouse action stunts and the sight of Geena Davis as a trained-to-kill bottle blonde will subside as the silliness of various plot points become increasingly apparent. Davis is cast as Samantha, a suburban mom and amnesiac who has no memory of her life prior to eight years ago. There's a wonderful comic chemistry between Davis and Jackson. As the uncouth, low-rent P.I. Samantha hires to find her real identity, Jackson is a real kick. The script by top-dollar Hollywood scribe Shane Black, however, has several dopey moments and frequently strains under the weight of its cute and snappy hard-boiled dialogue. Still, the movie is a lot of fun if you don't think about it too much.
