Remember that one about the amnesiac assassin gone good?

You know, the one where they slowly get their memories back, and drag some poor nearly helpless sidekick around while killing bad guys and making things right?

Yeah, it was the best!

No, not that one. Not that one either, or that one.

No, THIS ONE, the Long Kiss Goodnight. Greatest amnesiac assassin move ever. Geena F’ing Davis is the one-time assassin, and Samuel L. Jackson the nearly helpless (but not completely hopeless) private eye getting dragged all over, getting shot at and screaming a lot.

The Long Kiss Goodnight

Watch it. Now watch it again. You’ll thank me.
