The Long Kiss Goodnight
Samantha Caine is a small-town schoolteacher and mom with no memory of her life before washing up on a beach eight years ago. After a car accident and a violent home invasion trigger flashes of her past, she discovers she used to be a deadly CIA assassin. Teaming up with a wisecracking private investigator, Samantha must return to her old ways to take down the people who tried to erase her.
Critics Sentiment
Bomb explodes destroying Niagara Falls bridge killing Timothy
Samantha Caine lives as suburban teacher with amnesia
The film jumps from a slow suburban opening to exciting action once Samantha's skills are revealed, then peaks with the spectacular bridge finale.
The Long Kiss Goodnight starts slowly with Samantha's mundane suburban life but gains momentum as her lethal skills emerge through increasingly impressive action sequences. While some critics found the premise familiar and the plot occasionally convoluted, most praised the expertly crafted action scenes, particularly the climactic bridge explosion. The film succeeds as entertaining popcorn action despite requiring significant suspension of disbelief.
