Kiss Kiss Bang Bang [2005]
Director: Shane Black
Actor: Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, Michelle Monaghan
This was a really, really funny movie. It’s a cross between L.A. Confidential and Get Shorty. It’s awesome.
Harry Lockhart (Downey) is a crook who, while running from the cops, lands in an audition for a film-part, he’s so emotional because of his crook-partner got shot, that he aced the audition and is immediately flown to Hollywood in order to start preparing for a role. His tutor is celebrity PI Perry “Gay Perry” Van Shrike, who is an technical advisor on many movie sets. Together with Gay Perry and his highschool sweetheart Harmony Faith Lane (Monaghan) (a porn name if ever I heard one), Harry gets involved in a big kidnap/murder plot that seems straight out of a trash detective novel!
Great film. Very funny. I laughed. Loudly.
