    She was EXCELLENT in this.
    And I loved that scene, too ~
    Cheers to the director for that, also. Nicely done!

      I had been catching bits and pieces of it on Encore here and there, but never the whole thing. So I just picked it up on Amazon on Blu-ray and I was glad I did.
      Seriously entertaining movie. Funny too. This was he peak of Samueal L's cool era.

          I know a lot of people my age and a little younger who like Boondock Saints. I've only seen it once and that was a long time ago. But I don't remember loving it.
          I remember finding the whole thing very 2nd rate or amateur. It just didn't do much for me at all.

            Samuel Jackson (or Laurence Fishburne? (whatever)) was awesome, and Geena Davis is hot.

              It is awesome. I saw it when it originally came out and for reason I thought of it tonight and was glad it was available for instant viewing on Neflix.

                Why do so many people confuse Samuel L. Jackson and Lawrence Fishburne? I really do not understand. They do not look alike, sound alike or even act alike.

                  He has some seriously funny lines in this movie.
                  When Same/Charli first emerges from the shower and has now resumed her previous identity, the looks on his face are priceless. I think at one point, he actually says "Who the f-ck are you?!"
                  Then at the end, when he's all beat to hell and comes flying out of nowhere in the car and says "Ya'll can't kill me!" I lose it. Crack up every time.

                        i totally totally totally totally agree with you !!! this is what i call a real badass hollywood action flick
                        given the production yearit has the best action and the best one liners that one could ask for in a movie of this genre.
                        it is "nikita meets bourne meets bond meets salt meets mcclaine meets rambo" movie for me !!!
                        i don't know why such gr8 movies are rated so low at imdb.
                        geena davis deserved to become the lady bond but see what happened to her - she only did stuart littles !!!
                        last but not the least this film holds the record for having the most handsome villain in the movie history !!!

                              Yes this truly is a gem of 90s cinema. Geena is gorgeous. Sam is hilarious. The action is good. It's win win.

                                  I got this movie from Netflix because of Geena Davis but I turned it off after about 10 minutes, it was just too unbelievable and like some kind of murder fantasy. Didn't like it at all.

                                    Love this movie. too bad no sequel. too bad cutthroat killed renny & geena's careers. i like to think of the similarities between TLKG & Kill Bill. wonder if QT was at all influenced by it though ive heard the was conceived when QT & UT did Pulp Fiction.

                                        I liked it when it came out but have grown to love it more over time. I get a kick out of all the characters and the one liners are great. The way they deliver them is what makes it. The "That's a duck not a dick" line had me in tears the first time I saw it. And Brian Cox doing a double take at it made it even funnier. It's definitely a fun ride all the way to the end.

                                          I love this film. It does exactly what I want an action film to do - deliver OTT action, one-liners and be a complete flight of fancy! I watched this last night, having seen it previously on two occasions. I agree with residentevil6901 that it keeps getting better with each viewing! 🙂
