Movie Description
Stricken with amnesia eight years earlier, a small-town schoolteacher and mother hires a private eye to help her uncover her past. When it's discovered she's a former CIA operative--and that her "accident" was actually an assassination attempt--she and the detective are thrown into an automatic weapons-fueled, life-and-death struggle with the bad guys.
Synopsis
Nice, quiet Samantha lives in a pleasant town, with her beautiful daughter... and amnesia. After she's brutally attacked, Sam makes a stab at remembering her mysterious past. Little by little, she recalls that she was once Charly, a bad-to-the-bone, highly-trained government assassin, who knew too much about her employer's dirty dealings. Her former colleagues thought was dead -- until now. Soon, they're out to do everything they can to kill her.
All the while, benign Samantha is slowing transforming into the ruthless Charly. And that's good, because she will need ALL of her killer instincts in order to survive...

Industry Reviews
"...Supersexy and action-charged....Davis is a dazzler..."
Rolling Stone - p.76 - Peter Travers
"...A superbly entertaining action movie....Spectacular effects, stunts and editing..."
Sight and Sound - p.52-3 - Leslie Felperin
"...[A] fantastical actioner about the potential for good and evil within the human character, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT has a jokey good time with its outlandish pyrotechnics and offbeat character interplay....Muscular and visceral..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy
"...THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT is a tour de force of technical brilliance, with flashes of humor and a wild spirit of adventure..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (10/11/1996)
"...Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson prove they're game in this movie, as they trade quips in the breaks between special effects sequences. And he action is what we expect: sensational, violent and loud..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/11/1996)
