I'm a sucker for a kick butt girl. That's just how I roll. Xena, Buffy, Agent Scully (if you push the wrong buttons). I love a lady who knows how to use a sword, or a gun, or a harshly worded letter. Enter Charlie Baltimore: a tough as nails spy who, rather inconveniently, loses her memory in a nasty attempt on her life. After a car wreck the memories come flooding back and she has to get her revenge, save the USA from terrorists, and shoot some bad guys, all after teaching her daughter how to ice skate. This is a great movie with some great action, but Samuel L. Jackson really steals the show as Mitch Hennessey, a private dick who has some less than noble methods and intentions. For an action movie I found myself laughing more than once. So, yeah, I would suggest that one check this out, and give you boredom the Long Kiss Goodnight!
You see how I did that? With the title? Ahhh, you liked it.
My Favorite Part: The one liners are the best. I will list several of them now:
Mitch: -You know what happens when you make an assumption? You make an ass of you and Umption.
- That's a duck, not a dick!
- I'm always frank and earnest with women. In Chicago, I'm Frank, and in Detroit I'm Ernest!
Charlie: -No thanks, I'm saving myself until I get raped.
