| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelGet some popcorn and a pillow and just hang out. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisThe surprise and also the disappointment of The Long Kiss Goodnight is much simpler, and less politically inflected: it's badly made, or too close to badly made. |
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderGratuitous, far-fetched and a lot of fun. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesGeena Davis is engaging and funny no matter which woman she is. |
| The Film YapNick RogersFor once, Shane Black's penchant for Christmas isn't merely window-dressing. He understands the holiday's sometimes wearying grenade-shrapnel shell-shock - and how claustrophobically cloistering with loved ones often can only expand the blast radius. |

| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullJackson is hilarious here in another Pulp-y Jules-esque comic relief role, and Davis has the action-star makings of another Sigourney Weaver. |
