The Long Kiss Goodnight

(1996)

Supremely silly, but fun. Geena Davis is a housewife who has had amnesia for some years. Now her memories are coming back to her, and it seems she was a highly trained assassin. The conflict between her two personalities are fun to watch, and she is assisted, reluctantly, by a sleazy private eye played by Samuel L. Jackson. The ending is way over the top, I got quite bored, but what thriller other than the Bourne movies does not end in total destructive mayhem? Geena Davis is good at this sort of kick-ass action, she’s a big girl and seems to be having a lot of fun.
