The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

The Long Kiss Goodnight

Director Renny Harlin had kept the Die Hard franchise well alive in the sequel and paired up with Stallone for some cliffhanging, before he paired up with his wife Geena Davis again. This time with a Shane Black script, and Black had made a name for himself within the action-comedy genre by now.

Geena Davis works well as the amnesiac housewife with a past, and so does Samuel L. Jackson in one of his usual sidekick-roles. In usual Black-manner we also get a little Christmas spirit reminding us John McClane have had certain problems that time of year.

This isn't a classic within the genre, but it's easily enjoyable popcorn with all the typical elements needed.
