The immensely likable novel "Bodies are where you find them", written by Brett Halliday, has been adapted for the screen by Shane Black and the result is one of the funniest movies playing around.
Reviewed by jotix100 10 / 10 Calling Johnny Gossamer to action So back to formula on that one, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang would be a near-perfect comedy-thriller. It does not seem believable it is complex, dizzying and not nearly as involving as it would like to be. Its only problem, as far as I can see it, is its paper-thin plot. Everything else is nice, but forgettable. Some of the lines, gags and images are truly laugh-out-loud worthy. Black also sprinkles some rapid-fire dialogue onto his product, which is facilitated by the comedic chemistry between Downey and Kilmer. What makes it so special is that it mixes equal doses of humour and crime like a $15,000,000 blender, pouring out a balanced end product and glazing it with a clever narrative coating by Robert Downey Jr. Even in the dazzling opening credits using a montage of contrasts of red, black and white, it is evident that this is no run-of-the-mill crime story, but a viciously entertaining ride from scene 01. Shane Black's directorial debut 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is a comic film noir. Another mistake then shifts him from actor to private detective, and this is where Val Kilmer comes in and things start to go wrong, more wrong and unbelievably wrong until they've snowballed into an enjoyable detective mess - all to impress failed actress Harmony (Next big thing: Michelle Monaghan). What do you do?"Ī lucky mistake shifts out-of-luck criminal Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr) from the gritty streets to glossy showbiz in L.A, landing him a part in an upcoming film.
