The Basic Plot In Five Words or Less: Geena Davis - Amnesiac Assassin. Cool.
My Basic Ramblings: After watching this movie, little bits and pieces of my life started coming back to me. I didn't go to Camp Stella Maris for a week in the summer between fifth and sixth grade! I went to a top secret government camp for spy training! I know how to kill a man eight hundred and seventy-five ways with a piece of paper! I'm invincible! I immediately went out, dyed my hair platinum blonde, learned how to do that neat shotglass thing (only broke about sixty-three of them before I got it right) and proceeded to shoot the livin' heck out of anything that moved. (This, combined with the heroin addiction I developed after watching Trainspotting, makes life pretty darned interesting when I go visit my parents.)
In something resembling seriousness, though, I get a kick out of action movies, especially action movies where the female lead does more than just stand there and scream. Or stand there, get pushed out of the way by the hunky hero, and cower in the corner, screaming. Or do something really stupid, then get pushed out of the way by the hunky hero...you see where I'm going with this.
Sure, there are plot inconsistencies that were brought up when the movie was first released. The whole "outrunning the fireball" deal. The "if she washed up on the beach with only that key, why was there a gun in the bottom of her suitcase" bit. The "how did she get her hair so blonde with only one application of hair dye" thing. But if you overlook that, and remember that it's just a movie, well, it's fun.
Personally, I would be interested in seeing a sequel with that kid, Caitlin. I mean, both her parents were highly-trained government assassins. Some of that's gotta rub off on the kid. And not just the whole "get up, Mom, get up" thing at the end by the truck-bomb. Can you imagine if this kid were to get stood up at the prom? That'd be a long kiss goodnight.
