Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 2005- Movies You Missed#6
Maybe you like clever narration that breaks the forth wall? Possibly you like interesting mystery stories with a bit of action? Perhaps you just like seeing Robert Downey Jr. get hurt a lot? If so this one is for you!
Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) is possibly the worst slash luckiest thief ever. After a botched robbery in New York his partner in crime is shot and he runs from the cops strait into an audition room. Damn it if the producer and casting director don't think he's doing a method bit and hire him for the role on the spot. After being flown out to L.A. he is paired up with Gay Perry (played by Val Kilmer), a detective to shadow in preparation for his upcoming role. Suddenly Downey's character who's luck was on the upswing until this point stumbles across a murder and that's all I'm going to say about the plot.Go watch the movie.
Val Kilmer plays maybe the most layered and intelligent gay character I've seen in a film in a long while. It has some clever jabs at the entertainment industry. It might be one of my favorite movies to quote. The pace is quick and it might take you two watches to catch everything, but that's part of the fun. If I had to sum this movie up, and I do because this is the end, I'd say this movie is about friendship.
