IMDb plot summary: Samantha Caine lives in a small town with her daughter. Eight years ago she emerged, two months pregnant, from a nearby river with no memory of her past or who she is. However, she's getting closer to finding out about her past.
Directed by Renny Harlin. Starring Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Yvonne Zima.
The Long Kiss Goodnight stars Geena Davis as a woman who lost her memory several years ago and has re-invented her life since then. However, strange events start convincing her she might have a darker past than she at first thought, and she sets out to try to figure it out. This is a fluffy, fun female-led action thriller, and Geena Davis is a great lead for it, playing both the suburban mom and the ruthless assassin very well. Samuel L. Jackson works as a comedic foil, the everyman thrown into this situation without warning. The emotional arc of the film doesn't work particularly well, but it's mostly just trying to be a fun bombastic time, and it delivers on that for the most part. Not one I'm going to remember for long, but I had a good enough time watching it.
