With his directing debut Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Black mocks and undercuts every cliche he once helped to invent. While fleeing from the cops, small time hood Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr., Wonder Boys) stumbles into an acting audition--and does so well he gets taken to Hollywood, where--pursuing a girl he loved in high school (foxy Michelle Monaghan, North Country)--he gets caught up in twisty murder mystery. His only chance of getting out alive is a private detective named Gay Perry (Val Kilmer, Wonderland, The Doors), who sidelights as a consultant for movies. No plot turn goes untweaked by Black's clever, witty script, and Downey, Kilmer, and Monaghan clearly have a ball playing their screwball variations on action movie stereotypes. There's nothing profound about Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, but it brings back wicked mischief to a genre that all often takes itself too seriously. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Too Clever By HalfI love both Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer but I don't have a lot of positive things to say about this movie. I found it too talky and its plot was not believable. It was really hard for me to suspend my disbelief while watching it. None of the characters were endearing and it was a challenge to care about what happened to them. Also, in real life, there would be no chemistry between Downey's character and the female lead, Ms. Monaghan. Her history and the reprehensible manner in which she treats ...

Nicely set up and compelling in the beginning - Downey and Kilmer make an unlikely but highly watchable duo. Downey is spot on as ever, but it's Kilmer who shines. Past the a-list, it's interesting to see Kilmer in different roles now. The plot however, turned out to be more complicated than Robert Towne's ... Read More Rating: - What was the point?This movie made no sense to me. It was boring after the opening scene. Not sure what the plot was. Some girl rehooks up with Robert Downey Jr., there are car chases, people get shot and killed, there are trashy Hollywood chicks at parties. Only saving grace to this film was Val Kilmer. Rating:  - OverlookedKiss Kiss Bang Bang came and went surprisingly fast at the movie theatres. Which is a shame because it features a great story and some truly brilliant performances. Rating: - Clever and funny, maybe too clever, and with a fine performance by Robert Downey JrPart of me clearly appreciates the clever, loving riffs on noir movies, but part of me is seriously put off by the nudge, nudge, ain't I being clever pretensions of writer-director Shane Black. At one time, and maybe he still is, Shane was Hollywood's highest paid screenwriter, proud author of such big-time drek as the Lethal Weapon movies, Monster Squad, Last Action Hero and The Last Boy Scout. In other words, he knew how to hit a bulls-eye with the 18 to 28 male target audience. In Hollywood, that spells ... Read More |
