Saw this in the theater and have always thought it was an underrated action movie.

Thadman

I still use that assumption line. 😁

I’m always Frank and Ernest with women. In New York I’m Frank and in Chicago I’m Ernest 🤣 I love SLJ. Geena Davis is bad ass in this. I love the action guitar riffs that play, it’s so 90s. Gonna watch the reaction now.

This is a movie I love and still somehow forget about LOL

Steve Mercier

Loooooove this movie. Geena Davis is a queen, and Samuel L. Jackson steals every goddamn inch of this flick. Good shit.

Tyler Foster

Sam Jackson has said on numerous occasions that this is his favorite of his own movies and that he will watch it if he comes across it on T V or something. Although their marriage actually fell apart during the making of this movie, Geena Davis was married to director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) while making this. They made two action movies together, the other being the pirate film Cutthroat Island. I only watched it last year, and it's also plenty of fun, even though it's not as good as this. Both movies were box office bombs, and Cutthroat Island actually did so poorly, it was the reason no other studio made a pirate movie until Pirates of the Caribbean (which was also considered a huge risk as a result of this legacy), and it also bankrupted Carolco Pictures. The actor who played Samantha's daughter, Yvonne Zima, had a cameo as one of the beauty pageant contestants in Iron Man 3. In addition to her acting, Geena Davis founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which studies female representation in movies and television.

Same lol

Love this movie. Most people I know have never heard of it but it’s a hidden gem for sure. Geena Davis wasn’t known as an action star but she nailed this role. Thanks for requesting Tyler!

you're really watching some of my favorites lately, Bill and Ted, Grosse Pointe, and now The Long Kiss? more like the chef's kiss... awesome

Tyler Foster

One other thing I held off on saying until I was sure you'd watched the movie and therefore completely forgot to say was that it was fitting that you watched Grosse Pointe Blank the same week, another movie about highly trained assassins intermingling with normal civilian life. Also, just as an aside: I've liked all the Reactr requests to date but I think this is maybe my new favorite.

John Burns

Just watched this again. I missed it in my first watch, but when Geena tells Craig "You will die screaming, and I will watch." Her daughter in the movie's eyes are shooting laser beams at Craig. Great Game Face!
