Desperate to rediscover her past, she hires seedy private
investigator Mitch Hennessey (Jackson) to help her but another
head injury sets off a series of increasingly more real flashbacks.
Just to add some extra spice to her life, she is recognised
by former colleagues while on a parade float and hitmen are
immediately sent.
Government assassins, it seems, have been after her for years
because they never forgive one of their own who seems to have
abandoned them.
Davis' return of memory speeds up after an attack on her
house and she increasingly becomes more like her old self,
both mentally and physically, and the old killer skills return
with little effort.
Her change from hunted to hunter is handled well and you
get the feeling that despite the odds against her, you wouldn't
want to be one of her enemies.
Jackson and Davis really seem to have on-screen chemistry
that sees them play off each other nicely and while you know
there will never be any bed play, their developing friendship
is touching.
The support cast in The Long Kiss Goodnight is excellent.
The terrific British actors Patrick Malahide and Brian Cox
lead the way but David Morse, who seems to have taken a real
turn in character direction, is in no way overshadowed.
There's action aplenty in this adventure/thriller, which
has its rough spots but, overall, is a pretty fine production.
