The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col 120m
Director: Renny Harlin
Cast: Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Malahide
Synopsis:
A schoolteacher rediscovers her past as a CIA assassin just in time to foil a dastardly plot whereby her former boss seeks to reverse budgetary cuts by staging a devastating terrorist explosion at Niagara Falls.
Review:
Yes, it is that daft and that's not the half of it. Fortunately, how she succeeds with the help of Jackson's private investigator makes for some of the brighter moments, but mostly it's designer thrills, with every leap and explosion timed to maximum aesthetic advantage, and the montage of close-ups taken to new depths of fetishism. Apparently a wedding present from director to star.
