SYNOPSIS:
They
say love and money don't mix but you can't blame Harry Lockhart
for trying. He's been whisked from a life of petty crime to
Hollywood where he'll audition for the role of a movie detective
and be tutored for the part by a private eye. Now all Harry
has to do is convince the dream girl he meets that he's an
actual detective. And try not to stumble over the corpses
as reel life abruptly gives way to the real!
MOVIE REVIEW:
There is something about hypnotic and soothing about Robert
Downey Jr.’s voice he used it to great effect in Kiss
Kiss Bang Bang, a crime caper black comedy written by Lethal
Weapon creater Shane Black. It has to be Robert’s voice,
or the smart-alecky voiceover script will sound decidedly
OTT.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is totally cheeky, resulting in several
outrageous narrative about-turns that would destroy a more
serious movie. I loved the casting of Michelle Monaghan as
the required bombshell who looks tough and hilarious at the
same time.
There were several classic scenes that made me laugh out loud;
but surely the director and cast know that this film won’t
make it into the pantheon of great movies.
SPECIAL
FEATURES:
Includes a gag reel mainly consisting of out-takes and Val
Kilmer making rude gay jokes; a commentary track from Val
Kilmer, Robert Downey Jr. and Shane Black with more lame jokes;
and the theatrical trailer.
AUDIO/VISUAL:
The
film is available in English or Thai with English, Chinese,
Korean, Thai or Bahasa Indonesia subtitles. Nice visual transfer.
