The Long Kiss Goodnight - 6 stars out of 10

"The Long Kiss Goodnight"  is like The Bourne Identity, except with Samuel L. Jackson adding constant comic relief.  I enjoyed the story and the action but this film is very far-fetched, putting it a definitive peg below films like Bourne and Mission: Impossible.  That being said, Geena Davis is a great pick for this role, creating a good contrast between the characters of Samantha and Charly.  Unfortunately, the best part of the film occurs about 6 minutes in.  Jackson's opening dialogue is so funny that all of his other dialogue seems less amusing by comparison; however, he could sound good reading the Dictionary so his dialogue delivery is very effective from start to finish.  David Morse is simply evil while Brian Cox makes a nice addition to any film.  And yet, you won't be able to take your eyes off of Geena Davis, sexy and intimidating in her Charly role.  The film does have some plot holes but the explosions are cool and the fighting is intense, making this an enjoyable watch for any action fan.
