So, I suppose I should start giving reviews on every show/movie I binge/watch/have watched. Not really gonna do every episode because I'm not fucking suicidal. Don't expect anything like, in depth though. I'm no reviewer.

ANYWAYS, while this film is still fresh, I suppose I should give my thoughts on it first and foremost. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is such a great film to kinda to just kinda sit back and enjoy. It's extremely funny, some of the funniest I've seen in a while, and honest to God has a surprising amount of heart behind it. I expected a film in RDJ's "slump" to be lacking in quality, but Downey is just as charismatic here as he's ever been, and is honestly what sells this film for me.

The plot itself is fun enough, if not a bit predictable, though as a satire that was most definitely the point of this film. I certainly enjoyed the jokes, clever gags, and the chemistry between Downey, Kilmer, and Monaghan is certainly a threeway made in heaven.

Overall a 9/10

This film is a joy to watch. For me it's the film that brought RDjr back to us. It also gave us Val Kilmer back after a long time in the wilderness alas he forgot his compass afterwards, though he is fun in MacGruber :)

The script is tight and with sharp wit, the acting top notch. Must see.

I remember buying this blind from a Walmart bargain bin back in 2006 for like $5, just because I hadn't seen RDJ in a _long_ time.

Became an instant favorite of mine that evening, and I'll rewatch it several times a year when I need something light and fun. Now on to the spiritual successor: The Nice Guys.

EDIT: Oh, if you love this movie, do yourself a favor and get it on DVD or Blu-ray, because the commentary with Downey, Kilmer, and Black is almost as funny as the movie itself.

About half-way through I realized I wasn't watching something in the ordinary. I've only watched it once before and wasn't really paying attention to it. I was now, and I think it's one of those hidden little gems that combines very good acting with a funny homage to the neo-noir genre. The dialogues beteen Robert Downey Jr's Harold Lockhart and Val Kilmer's Gay Perry.

"Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?"
- "A picture of me?"
" No! The definition of the word idiot, which you fucking are!"

Yes. More of this please. I need more dialogue humor like this in my life.

I've never heard anything about this film until I saw some great reviews here on Letterboxd and why in the hell didn't I've never heard of it before!? It's great!
It's a highly entertaining dark comedy! Shane Black's writting is funny and sharp and his direction very stylish. It's thrilling, quirky, dry, clever with super fast dialogues.
Once again Robert Downey Jr. is amazing! The more I see from him the more I love him. But I also really enjoyed Val Kilmer's role as the gay detective. The two had some great scenes together and the crazy situations that they are involved provide great laughs.

glad you loved this. one of my favourite films from the last decade. it's a shame not many have heard about this. one of the best films by RDJ and I can't understand why Shane black is not doing more movies.

He just directed two films, this one and Iron Man 3, right?<br /> I loved it and until short time ago I didn't knew about it.

He's better known as a screenwriter. <br /> <br /> Amongst others he wrote;<br /> Lethal Weapon<br /> The Last Boy Scout (directed by Tony Scott)<br /> Last Action Hero (under appreciated and Black's humour here is sharp)<br /> The Long Kiss Goodnight (under rated in my opinion)<br /> <br /> <br /> He's been attached to write and direct "Doc Savage", an adventurer/scientist/detective created in the 1930's. Done well, it will be awesome.

Yes, now I know :)<br /> From all you've mention I just saw the Lethal Weapon films. But I really like to see him direct more stuff.

Enjoyable funny film, that was made for Robert Downey Jr. A comedy/thriller with a very original style.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is your funniest friend at a bar, where the good times and tears of laughter will help you look past the occasional babbling and instants of distraction that sometimes go on to long.

As fresh as a peppermint shower and just as sweet, this buddy crime mystery proves that Val Kilmer can do comedy, that Robert Downey Jr can do action and that Michelle Monaghan is the second coming (and maybe even the third).

Apart from the acting, the dialog is the strongest part of the movie, while the story is a bit convoluted and the narration an unnecessary distraction. Still, if you're looking to have your cockles warmed by a Christmas movie that isn't, your holly jollies could do far worse than Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

A wild black comedy from writer/director Shane Black, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is irreverently fun. When small-time crook turned actor Harry Lockhart shadows a PI to research a role he ends up entangled in the murder of a Hollywood producer’s daughter. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan, the film has a strong cast. Downey in particular gives an incredible performance, and does a great job at balancing the dark humor with the action. Additionally, the noir satire is especially well-done. However, the plot is packed with a lot of unnecessary tangents and filler that distracts from the mystery and slows down the film. Yet despite the clutter, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is entertaining and delivers some good laughs.
