A joy to watch the performances of the three leads in this entertaining satirical noir when two new comers to LA from the small town of Embry, Indiana find themselves embroiled in a crime.

After 20 minutes we ejected the DVD, just could not get into it. I found Robert Downey Jr. as the narrator very irritating. I have never liked him in a movie and will avoid in the future. I wondered when I looked for comments why there…

Quite entertaining. The only beef I might have is that Downey tends to get predictable, with his staccato deliverance of offbeat lines, no matter what the script, and that the film looks like it might have been made in a week in and…

A mess of a film. I love Robert Downey Jr. and his acting is superb, but this film is all over the place and makes zero sense. The dialogue is gibberish. Couldn't watch much of this.

2 actors who I find amusing.
1 DVD I popped out after 25 minutes.
I just couldn't connect with the characters.
Or see that the story was going anywhere.
But then why would I expect anything of worth to come out of California ....

This was funny and enjoyable action/comedy. It has fun with the film noir genre, while infusing lots of humour -- sometimes dark humour, which I love. Good writing. A must-see for Robert Downey Jr. fans -- he's at his irreverent best.…
2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang marked the turnaround in Robert Downey Jr.’s career and arguably the end of Val Kilmer’s. The tongue in cheek, buddy detective, neo-noire, gave Robert Downey Jr. the chance to shake off the funk from his previous…
Based, in part, on the novel Bodies Are Where You Find Them by Brett Halliday, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a hilarious film mystery that had me laughing till the very end … literally. With Val Kilmer playing gay detective Perry, Robert Downey…

Robert Downey Jr does what he does best, and Val Kilmer lays out his best bite in his role as a gay man with acerbic wit.
Watch it twice for full effect.

Star Gladiator we have very different ideas on "sophisticated humor" you and I. I didn't find anything sophisticated about this movie. I found it be quite ordinary in fact. I would be surprised if anyone in this movie thought highly of…
Warning! This movie shows bare breasts and will not be suitable for parents trying to erase their childrens' memories of sucking on them.

This is a good action/crime drama/quirky/dark comedy/buddy film. Yes I just wrote that. This one begs to be quantified. Has a Tarantino meets Guy Ritchie-ish way about it. the dialogue is good. Characters memorable. Action good. Story is…

A geniuinely 10-star rated movie - - this is Hollywood at its finest, with actors' performances at their finest. A really hilarious movie aimed at the adult-level crowd - - if you are slow witted or quite young and unsophisticated, much…

Alright movie. Good choice of cast, all the characters feel bang on and are developed enough that they don't feel like cardboard cutouts. Has some witty, incredibly dark humour. Overall a good movie, didn't know what to expect, but I was…

This is not a laugh out loud comedy. There were very few moments where you felt the need to laugh more than a titter or have a knowing grin on your chops. But I think that it is best to watch it a couple of times the script is very fast…
