Proper Late Night Movie - The Long Kiss Goodnight review by griggs
When this was released, it probably felt fresh—amnesiac assassins and all—but time hasn’t been entirely kind. These days, that premise feels a bit… well-trodden. Still, there’s plenty to enjoy. Geena Davis is in full feminist icon mode, riding high off Thelma & Louise and A League of Their Own. She absolutely owns it. It’s criminal (literally and figuratively) that this ended up being her last leading role. Since then, she’s been stuck fighting the patriarchy off-screen instead.
Samuel L. Jackson, fresh off Pulp Fiction, is clearly having the time of his life. Playing the loveable underdog is a total 180°, but he nails it—scrappy, sharp, and full of swagger. No wonder this is his favourite of his own films to watch. Their odd-couple chemistry is the secret weapon, even when the script goes full bananas in the third act. Messy?
Absolutely. But it’s a blast. A proper late-night watch—and a cracking Christmas double-bill with Die Hard.
