'What I'm saying is, back when we first met, you were all like "Oh phooey, I burned the darn muffins." Now, you go into a bar, ten minutes later, sailors come runnin' out. what up with that? '

Great 90s product. Yes...of course it's not a high-flyer, and no, it doesn't mean much, is even predictable. Still, the film has a certain charm. It's nothing special to Davis by the way, although it's not bad to look at, a role with two personalities so far apart is a bit too ambitious for her, although she does it nicely.

As far as I'm concerned, the film is made by the hard and fast action such as the fight with McKenna in the kitchen, and especially the great humor and dialogues with Jackson. Although faint here and there, I am still in awe of that man and his comments in this film. Bierko also does a great job as the slick and scary bad guy. Cox by the way, who plays himself nicely.

Anyway, nice look away once in a while, purely for entertainment.

“Mommy, am I gonna die?”

“Oh, no, baby, no. You're not going to die. They are. Cover your ears. Hey, should we get a dog?”

The Long Kiss Goodnight remains a very entertaining action movie. There's a lot of action in it and it's quite exciting at times, but the best thing about the film is the buddy cop element between Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. I could have spent hours watching their bickering and camaraderie, and both actors get the most out of their roles. Of course, a thousand of these films have already been made, but The Long Kiss Goodnight shows why the formula still works so well.

Wonderful real 90s action movie, with a lot of action and nice effects. Genna Davis plays very well and in my opinion it is a pity that there are so few female action heroines. And I don't mean the ladies of that Marvel stuff but of real movies Samuel L. Jackson also plays very well the story everyone knows so I don't have to say anything about that. Just a big recommendation for those who love the good old 90s action movies, just like I see them every year with great pleasure.
