Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Funny story, tailored for Robert Downey Jr. with a superlative Michelle Monaghan. Val Kilmer shines like in movies some years ago.

2 hours of tedious boring nonsense.

Probably the best thing Shane Black's ever made, and I do not say that lightly, even the worst things he's behind have been okay, and the great (like _Kiss Kiss Bang Bang_) are truly great. The movie that turned me on to lead man Robert Downey Jr., but it's Val Kilmer that steals the show here. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._

It's literally like someone took America by the East Coast and shook it, and all the normal girls managed to hang on. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is written and directed by Shane Black. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer and Michelle Monaghan. Music is by John Ottman and cinematography by Michael Barrett. Small time thief Harry Lockhart (Downey Jr.) is running from the police and stumbles into a movie audition and gets the part! Partnered with private detective Gay Perry (Kilmer), who is to show him the ropes for the part he's to play, things turn just a little weird when dead bodies start turning up in his life… Shane Black's first venture into big feature film directing is a master class of genre bending bravado. The screenplay and script bare all the hallmarks of Black, where any

Awesome movie, if you liked The Nice Guys (2016) you're going to love this.

**Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’s excellent acting, script, and writing are held back by its annoying and avoidable language and nudity.** Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a clever and unique mystery movie with brilliant writing, dialogue, and acting weighed down by unnecessary and excessive language and nudity. Seriously, I would love this movie if you cut out all the f-bombs and nakedness. Robert Downey Jr. basically auditions for Iron Man with his manic and witty performance, and his unlikely friendship with Val Kilmer’s character is highly entertaining and hilarious. Characters break the fourth wall several times throughout, keeping the movie comical and fresh. I really wanted to like this movie more, but the crass language and needless nudity hold Kiss Kiss Bang Bang back from being a holiday regular.
