I love a good assassin film, so I checked this out on Netflix. Wow, I was expecting an exciting movie but what really took me by surprise was the script! This has some of the best one liners of any film. It's like The Boondock Saints, almost everything is quotable! Really awesome film!

"What happened?"

"I just saved your *** it was great!"

And I loved the badguy that could tell when people were lying to him. That guy played a pretty cool villain.

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

Utah! Get me two.

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! :)

It's funny what movies have that effect, I hated Presumed Innocent the first time I watched it but now it's one of my all time favorite movies. This movie is just great from start to finish, it's so crisp and clean, the cinematography is excellent.

It's a lot better than it looks at first glance. Shane Black is usually the man, though. You can almost never go wrong with the writer of the first (and best) two Lethal Weapon movies and the (arguably good, in my opinion) Iron Man 3. Oh, and let's not forget The Last Boy Scout.

It's a cracking film with just the right mixture of comedy and action.

Fortytwo? FortyTwo? what sort of puerile, pathetic, stupid answer is that? Everyone knows it's 43.

One of my all time favorite movies. I've watched this movie so many times it ain't even funny. I'm addicted.

this movie is one of the best action movies ever made. It is ridiculously entertaining.
