Monaghan ... / DVD released 13 March, 2006 at Warner Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / With smart scribe Shane Black both penning the script and behind the camera, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was never going to be ordinary. Yet it’s far better than you could have hoped for, marrying in comedy, action, a bit of a detective work and a constant, knowing wink to the audience. Cruelly underperforming at the box office, the film finds Robert Downey Jr as a small time thief, who quite literally finds himself stumbling into the world of acting. With a potential role as a private detective in the offing, his agent arranges for him to spend his time with private investigator Val Kilmer. All is fairly light, until a dead body crosses their paths and a genuine mystery presents itself. And that then sets the scene for a pacey, energetic film spearheaded by a trio of strong performances. The main plaudits should go to the interplay between Kilmer and Downey Jr, who both eat up their respective best roles in years. Meeting them head on though is Michelle Monaghan, who plays a wannabe actress with a talent for fast talking, and looks that Downey Jr’s Harry can’t help but resist. Now it’s fair to argue that the setup itself doesn’t feel particularly fresh. Yet the execution most certainly is, with Black savvy enough to know when to avoid the genre clichés, and when to drive his script right through the middle of them with a great big grin on his face. Grounded by a splendidly witty narration from Downey Jr, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is, at the point this review is being written, an underappreciated gem. Hopefully time, and DVD, will see it right.--Simon BrewNewest Review: ... motto was; when in doubt, cut up a pig! She is sassy and wicked smart, and into detective novels.

There is a scene that sums up the different roads these kids have taken to Hollywood. She accuses Harry of grabbing her tit and her reaction is, "That's life, no biggy!" He was actually getting rid of a huge spider crawling over her whilst asleep, but is offended by her shrugging it off as no big deal. "If someone grabs your tit, that's a biggy" he says.

Harry Lockhart is one of life's nice guys, but he can't ever finish anything that he starts, including school and his marriage.

Harry Lockhart is a thief and lucky man. On a job with his friend, his friend gets shot and Harry is chased by the police, but manages to avoid them and, by some fluke, ends up being interviewed for a part in a film. He impresses the casting people so much that they send him to Los Angeles for a screen test, whereupon he immediately stumbles across a murder. Along with childhood friend, Harmony, and a private detective, Perry, he tries to work out who the murderer is. But will he be able to do so without being killed himself? Or indeed without losing his fingers? Harry Lockhart is played by Robert Downey Junior. Whereas I know his name very well (who doesn't, ...
