This week's movie is another favorite of mine: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from 2005.-
It's a Film noir-ish dark comedy/detective movie, too adult for for kids. It's got lots of bad language, violence and nudity - so if you're easily offended this movie is not for you. But it's also one of the smartest, wittiest and funniest detective movies I've ever seen.
-
Without giving too much away, it's about three people who get thrown into the midst of a murder mystery - a private investigator, a petty thief from New York, and an aspiring actress.
-
Val Kilmer, Robert Downey Jr. and Michelle Monaghan (respectively) do superb work.
-
However the writing is what sets this movie apart. It's written by Shane Black (writer of Lethal Weapon), who also makes his directorial debut. Black is at the top of his game: great dialogue, witty banter, spoofing other movies while not taking itself too seriously...
-
See Kiss Kiss Bang Bang if you're in the mood for an intelligent, funny, unconventional movie!
