Featured review
Well, sitting down to watch the 1996 movie "The Long Kiss Goodnight" for the third or fourth time since it was originally released, I have to say that director Renny Harlin's movie is every bit as enjoyable and entertaining today as it was back in the day.
The storyline written by Shane Black is very enjoyable, and it is one that immediately draws in the audience and takes the audience along on an action-packed ride throughout a very nicely constructed, written and told plot and storyline. And this makes "The Long Kiss Goodnight" a very watchable movie.
And also the cast ensemble in "The Long Kiss Goodnight" makes the movie all the more enjoyable. I mean, you have Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson in the leading roles, and they carry this movie phenomenally together. And the movie also have the likes of Brian Cox, David Morse and Craig Bierko on the cast list as well.
The pacing of the narrative throughout the movie is good and rather nicely paced, and the storyline has that quality to it which makes it a movie that you can watch multiple times, and the movie keeps being as enjoyable with each viewing. I will actually say that this is definitely one of the more memorable movies of the mid-1990s.
If you haven't already seen "The Long Kiss Goodnight", then you most certainly should do so, should you find yourself with the opportunity to do so.
My rating of "The Long Kiss Goodnight" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

- TriviaOn the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014) on January 14, 2019, Samuel L. Jackson listed Mitch as his favorite role.
- GoofsAfter driving the tanker truck through town, Charly comes on a downgrade with a car in front of her. She pumps the brake pedal and it shows brake fluid leaking from a cut line. Tanker trucks (big rigs) do not use hydraulic fluid in their brake systems, they all use compressed air to release their brakes. So a leak causes the brakes to stop the truck.

Mitch Henessey: What I'm saying is, back when we first met, you were all like "Oh phooey, I burned the darn muffins." Now, you go into a bar, ten minutes later, sailors come runnin' out. What up with that?
