Fun for all in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
11/11/2005 - 14:20:51Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Director: Shane Black
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Val Kilmer, Michelle Monaghan
Cert: 15
Whatever about his troubled past, it is good to see Downey back on screen, and in a film he looks like he enjoyed making. It is a joy which translates easily to the audience.
He plays a thief of the ODC - ordinary decent criminal - type who is rumbled by the police, finds himself involved in a film cattle call, then in LA where he meets a gay private eye (Kilmer) and an old love (Monaghan) who gets him to investigate her sister's death; suicide or otherwise.
It's a storyline played at a fast pace and with snappy dialogue and still kept under control by Black, who wrote it as well as Lethal Weapon. Lots of comic fun.
Star Rating: 4/5
