Many films over the past 10-15 years have featured stronge female characters, who have skeletons in their closet and who can kick-ass.  Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich and Saoirse Ronan, just to name a few.  But, Geena Davis, was one of the pioneers of this certain kind of sub-genre.  She helped start this with this really good, unknown film.  This one has a lot of high-powered names attached to it.  It's directed by Renny Harlin, written by Shane Black, Music by Alan Silvestri, the DP was Guillermo Navarro and along side Genna Davis, is Samuel L. Jackson, who has one of his best introduction scenes I have ever seen from him.  His character of Mitch is a perfect contrast to Davis' Charlie.

Mitch: ...everyone knows, when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of "u" and "umption".

Geena Davis goes through a wide range of different personalities and situations.  She is a mom.  She is sweet and nice.  She seems to have her life together.  She also can be tough as nails and can be a killer, while at the same time, she is sexy beyond belief.  Without giving anymore away see this film tonight and be prepared for Samuel L. doing what he does best. - Phil
