The Long Kiss Goodnight
The Long Kiss Goodnight is a 1996 American action thriller film co-produced and directed by Renny Harlin, and produced by Shane Black and Stephanie Austin with screenplay written by Black. It stars Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Amandes, Yvonne Zima, Brian Cox, Patrick Malahide, Craig Bierko and David Morse. The story follows amnesiac schoolteacher Samantha Caine (Davis) who sets out to recover her identity with the help of private detective Mitch Henessey (Jackson) when they discover a dark conspiracy.
Released by New Line Cinema on October 11, 1996, it grossed almost $96 million against a budget of $65 million, and gained a strong cult following.
Samantha Caine is a schoolteacher in small-town Honesdale, Pennsylvania, living with her boyfriend Hal and her daughter Caitlin. Eight years earlier, she was found on a New Jersey beach, pregnant with Caitlin, and totally amnesiac. Having never remembered her real name, "Samantha" has hired several ineffective private investigators to discover her past, the latest being the down-on-his-luck Mitch Henessey.
Over Christmas, Samantha is involved in a car accident and suffers a mild concussion; upon recovering, she finds she possesses skills with a knife that she cannot explain. Shortly thereafter, their home is broken into by "One-Eyed Jack", a convict who escaped from jail after seeing Samantha's face on television. Samantha demonstrates her fighting prowess by killing Jack bare-handed. Fearing she poses a danger to Hal and Caitlin, she leaves with Mitch, who has found a suitcase belonging to her, to find answers.
The suitcase contains a note directing them to Dr. Nathan Waldman. They arrange to meet at a train station, unaware that government agents are tapping his calls. En route, Samantha discovers the bottom of the suitcase contains a disassembled sniper rifle which she can expertly reassemble, along with other weapons.
When Samantha and Mitch go to meet Waldman at the station, they are attacked by a team of agents who shoot numerous bystanders, but they escape with Waldman's help. The doctor informs her that she is really an expert CIA assassin, Charlene Elizabeth "Charly" Baltimore, who had disappeared eight years earlier. Unsure if they can trust Waldman, Samantha and Mitch leave him behind and seek another contact named on a note in the suitcase, Luke, believing he may be Charly's fiancé.
Waldman catches up with them, trying to warn them that Luke is actually Charly's last target, "Daedalus." However, Luke kills Dr. Waldman before he can warn them. Samantha is then tortured with repeated near-drowning experiences for information. During this process, her real identity fully resurfaces and her memory returns.
Samantha frees herself, kills Luke, and escapes with Mitch. She completes her physical transformation back to Charly, cutting her hair and dying it platinum blonde. Charly realizes that her "Samantha Caine" personality was a cover to get near Daedalus eight years earlier.
