2 hours of tedious boring nonsense.

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 anyone familiar with his writing work previously will know where to set expectation levels as per barbed dialogue and blitzkrieg energy. Yet this is very much one of a kind, a standalone of such dizzying thrills and shameless awareness of movie conventions, it practically begs to be visited on more than one occasion.

To simplify it, it’s a neo-noir – murder mystery – bromance – romance – comedy – actioner! OK, so not really that simple, then! Black takes a loving homage to pulp cinema and mixes it with caustic asides to the Los Angeles industry that provides him with work. How wonderful. Downey’s (fabulous) Lockhart is the fulcrum, acting as antagonist, protagonist, narrator and a number of other things as Black runs him through the meta mangler. Kilmer (also fabulous) sidles up to deliver sarcasm, machismo and tongue in cheek posturing, the chemistry with Downey concrete. An odd couple pairing beautifully baring fruit, and, well, just beautiful really.

Into the mix is the gorgeous Monaghan, who as Harry’s childhood object of affection, is now a failed actress, slightly damaged, but strong and savvy, but also not, an unconditional femme fatale, but also not really! Corbin Bernsen (whose company produced the pic) files in for some joy filled has-been smarm, while sound tracking and photography sit comfortably with the nature of the beast. As a plot it’s deliberately complex and convoluted, Black knows his noir onions, but he also wants to put his vibrant stamp on things, so he crowbars the comedy of The Hard Way into the hardboiled haze of The Big Sleep. And it works very well indeed.

Violence is aplenty but very much irreverently played. Murders occur, either by design or otherwise, various body parts get assaulted and they shouldn’t make for belly laughs, but they do; and not in some lame Weekend at Bernie’s way either. And yet still Black has time to trickle sad themes below the surface, one in particular really hits home and forces the viewer to snap out of the frivolity for some reflection. Make no bones about it, these are damaged characters straight out of noir’s dark alleyways in the 40s and 50s. So Capra meets Siodmak – Dmytryk – Mann – Tourneur – Wilder…then?

Smarty pants film making makes for smart entertainment, see it more than once. Hell! See it annually in fact. 9/10

Superb acting, great story, fantastic chemistry
‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ was definitely a fun one to view. The team of RDJ, Val, and Michelle have a chemistry that works very well on screen and the story develops well as the run time continues, creating an ever changing engagement to the plot from the audiences’ perspective… Easily, Robert Downey Jr. is a fan favorite within the film. Viewing this movie for the first time while watching many other more recently released RDJ movies, it is clear to see how fantastic of an actor he is and how compelling he is as he demands attention with every word or action he projects. On the flip-side of things, he as the narrator made me laugh on multiple occasions… Comparing ‘The Nice Guys’ to ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’, this film easily beats ‘The Nice Guys’ out in my book where I simply found this far more entertaining than it.

A very comedic and compelling film for your viewing pleasure. Fun from start to finish yet very clever and intelligent as well.

Black Is Back.
You’ve gotta hand it to Shane Black. This is the man who helped create the cop-buddy genre with “Lethal Weapon,” then turned around four years later and satirized it with his script for “The Last Boy Scout.” A lot of critics didn’t like that movie because it was loud, ugly, profane, garish and Tony Scott-ish. But a lot of them simply didn’t understand it.

Ditto for “Last Action Hero.” It’s one of the most daring and original Hollywood films ever produced, and yet somehow many of its stars didn’t even appreciate it. Arnold signed on thinking it was just another action flick with some tongue-in-cheek humor (as evidenced by his later comments about the film being “too violent” for kids). But that movie had a lot of brains, and it consistently made fun of the high level of cartoonish violence in any Arnie movie. And when “The Long Kiss Goodnight” rolled around, that is when Black proved once and for all that although his films may contain a surface of male machismo, misogyny, over-the-top violence and profanity, it’s his clever writing that always undermines what’s happening in the forefront. He’s serving Hollywood exactly what they want, while still managing to take jabs at them underneath it all. He took the whole spy-thriller genre for a big twist, but once again a lot of people just didn’t “get it” – and it was another bomb. It shoved him into unwilling retirement.

Now, Shane is black with his directorial debut, “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Entertaining from frame one, this gritty, smug little film carries over a lot of the unadulterated heavy violence and sexism inherent in so many action films from the 1980s and early 1990s. But it’s all poking fun at itself, in typical Shane fashion. Take the scene where the heroine, Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), runs around a Los Angeles park in a skimpy Playboy outfit, for example. Shane even gives her a gun. Kiss kiss, bang bang.

Robert Downey, Jr. plays Harry Lockhart, a small-time crook from the east coast who gets his partner killed in a toy store robbery and, on the run from cops, stumbles into an open casting audition. He breaks down in an emotional fit in front of the casting director, who thinks it’s the best performance he’s ever seen. He flies Harry out to LA to prepare for his role in the film, where he meets Gay Perry (Val Kilmer), a gay Hollywood insider who is a private eye of sorts and is also gay. Did I mention he’s gay? Because it’s made clear that he is. A lot. And in case you didn’t get it the first time, they even gave him a Gay nickname. Literally.

But that’s the genius of this movie. Kilmer embodies Perry so well that he ends up transforming his character into a giant criticism of gay stereotypes. Perry is a stereotype who is aware of his stereotypes, and embraces them, and makes fun of them – and isn’t afraid too, which makes it acceptable for us to laugh. Perry is even, to a point, another means to satirize Black’s earlier material. Riggs and Murtaugh solidified the idea of buddies in a buddy-movie – what they should be like, how they should interact, and so on and so forth. To suddenly have a buddy movie with a straight character and a gay character almost seems to be breaking the unwritten Buddy Movie laws that Black helped create.

Perry is one of Kilmer’s best and most likable performances, and he plays right into the hands of the wonderful Robert Downey Jr., who is a true revelation. His comedic timing and fourth wall narrative are flawless. His interaction with Kilmer is classic, and one of the best buddy-pairings since “Lethal Weapon.” Go figure. It almost makes you crave for a sequel, even though you really don’t want to risk them ruining the originality of the original.

“Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” is the most obvious of all Shane’s self-referential films, because it speaks directly to its audience. (“I saw the last Lord of the Rings, I’m not going to have like seventeen different endings.”) But balancing a self-referential narrative in a film like this almost seems a risky thing to do in the post-Tarantino era – the era in which self-reference became “hip” and “cool,” but most importantly: financially profitable for the studios. The production companies dished them out and soon the entire concept was burnt out and boring. The smug, self-aware attitude of flicks like “Boondock Saints” became tiresome. But it’s only fitting that the father of the genre should be the one to resurrect it.

This film has the best dialogue I’ve heard in a movie for ages, and the brilliance of it is the fact that it doesn’t become overbearingly self-conscious: it’s amiable and entertaining.

The film’s title is a reference to another movie, by the way. Pauline Kael supposedly saw the term in Italy, where it was used to describe the James Bond character. It effectively sums up exactly what Hollywood wants in their movies – girls, sex, violence. Kiss kiss, bang bang. Black is back.
