    Man I just think she sucks playing these "hardass" roles. Sam Jackson is GREAT but she stinks it all up. Is there any movie where she plays a more loveable character?

          Is sucks what the kids are saying when they mean "awesome" these days? If so, I agree with you.
          I never would have thought she's had this role in her, but man did she pull it off.

            She was amazing in the movie, period.

              Watching on cable right now - love the line when she comforts her daughter in the proverbial no-escape scenario, "No, you won't die, honey - they will."

                        She was AWESOME in here, truly badass. She was really cool in Thelma & Louise too. But if you didn't like her in those movies, watch that show where she was president or the Stuart Little movies.

                          If you want to watch her cute and lovable, watch
                          Bettlejuice
                          ! There she was absolutely adorable, possibly even outshining Winona Ryder!
                          In my opinion, even at 55, Geena is still HOT! Like Heather Locklear, she ages fantastically beautifully!

                              Anyway, Davis is married to a plastic surgeon young enough to be her son.

                                  I disagree. I usuall hate movies where they try to pass off a woman as badass and it fails miserably (Resident Evil movies, Tomb Raider movies, Dawn of the Dead remake, etc). But this movie is one of the rare occasions where it works. Geena Davis pulls off all the action and tough gal lines really convincingly IMO. Okay, it comes off as a little awkward towards the beginning when she's Samantha, but I think that was intentional.

                                    To the list of those movies I would have to add Colombiana and Salt, they both have "badass" female leads that are very unconvincing, Geena kicks ass here
                                    Only movies that are worth watching:

                                        Agreed 100% GD is a fantastic actress, but what makes this movie work is the humor in itin the same way that one could laugh at Thelma.if that makes any sense.for example the look she gives SLJ after he says, "Yessum Miss DaisyI be honkin!!" The look alone makes me laugh.Love her

                                          Yeah I love that part. Davis and Jackson have an awesome chemistry in this film. I especially like the part where one of the hitmen has Charly in a alleyway with a gun to her head, then when Mitch tries to save her, the two start bickering like the hitman isn't even there:
                                          Charly: Are you always this stupid or did you take lessons?
                                          Mitch: I TOOK LESSONS!
                                          Hitman: HEY!
                                          Charly & Mitch: WHAT?!
                                          Me: XD
