As a screenwriter, Shane Black made millions of dollars from screenplays for the big-budget action movies Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout, among others. 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

 For The Love Of God, Don't Do it! June 25, 2009
Bruno Tattaglia
What can I say but everything you know is wrong. How many paid shills are on this board raving about this boxoffice flop? The reason Kiss Kiss Bang Bang flopped is because the movie stinks with a captiol S. This is a movie that tries to be too snarky for its own good. Do yourself a big favor and don't buy this movie. Do something better with you time like go help blind kids. Anything is better than sitting through this unfunny film noir wannabe piece of drek.
 Interesting but not compelling June 24, 2009
The Tao of Netflix (Washington, DC)
A basic murder mystery type of multiple people pursuing slowly unraveled motives. You can read other reviews to a more detailed grasp for the movie, but the bottom line is the movie is uncompelling. There is a certain intangible that turns a good movie into a great movie, assuming that the movie has a strong plot, good directing and a good cast, which this mostly does have. But whatever that extra ethereal quality is, its lacking, and the movie stays at the limited viewer engagement level throughout. Its hard to articulate why, but despite the good cast and interesting-enough storyline, it lacks the wow factor. I do have to say, though, that the decision to cast either Corbin Bernsen or Val Kilmer in a movie anytime after 2005 is certainly a dubious decision; casting them both seems downright shameful.
 great movie May 24, 2009
Danilo Scepanovic
this is one of my favorite movies and i'm glad it's out on blu-ray. it has a great plot line (although a little complicated), really witty dialogue, and a great cast. if you are a robert downey jr. or val kilmer fan, i highly recommend it.
Great Movie (No Kidding) March 25, 2009
Jonathan Perry
Best not-seen movie of the last few years. Made about $12.00 in the theaters, doing better as a DVD. I love this movie. Very dry, very droll, very funny, great voice-over by Downey, good writing.
A good romp with some sly laughs and romance March 21, 2009
Gauteng (VA, United States)
I enjoyed this film because it is not too formulaic, quite funny at times and has a poignant story line. Robert Downey is pretty convincing as a ne'er do well transplant from New York but the real treat is Val Kilmer who plays a gay private eye/movie consultant deftly and never goes over the top with his performance. He and Robert Downey Jr. have good on-screen chemistry and this coupled with some sardonic dialogue makes for a few good laughs. Michelle Monaghan plays well as a striking Midwest girl in search of the Hollywood lights who is also Downey Jr.'s first love and therein lies a sweet and romantic story element. I will not say too much for fear of spoiling the story but I do recommend this film because it is fresh, has a lot of heart and strength in its nuances.
