Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. play well in this funny whodunit murder mystery. Both play characters who inadvertently stumble upon each others paths and form a unique bond in order to solve a mystery that just keeps getting deeper and deeper. The movie is a bit different in that Downey Jr. narrates in between scenes to give context to the movie. The only aspect that one might find offensive is the language, but Kilmer has something to offer in order to compensate for this in the very last scene; the very last line of the movie. If you live in the heart of the Midwest and find yourself offended by the language, take heart for Kilmer's message at the end of the movie. Also, for a spectacular scene of comedic ingenuity ... watch for the Russian Roulette scene. If you're like most people, you'll gasp and then bust out laughing! Really, I'm not kidding.Read full review
This movie actually features two actor that have played or will play comic book superheroes! Val Kilmer was the Batman, and Robert Downey Jr will be Iron Man in the 2008 movie. However in this movie, Val Kilmer is a little stiff in his portrayal of the dectective, while Robert gives a good portrayal. The movie is a little disjointed, but it appears the director wanted it to be that way... Tina, (my wife), enjoyed the movie, while it was just Okay for me. The narration by Robert's character was a little off-beat, and the flashbacks were a little off period. The movie was good enuff for a rental DVD, don't think I would buy it for my DVD Film Library though!
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang comes rated as an Average Film. It starts out on the dry side, but becomes more interesting as the movie goes on. We enjoyed the cast: Val Kilmer, Robert Downey Jr, and Michelle Monaghan. This is supposedly from the Creator of Leathal Weapon, but you cannot really tell as it doesnt compare to any of the Lethal Weapons movies. Robert Downey Jr narrates the movies all the way through, which was somewhat of a turn off. Overall, it ended up being a decent movie. Rent It or Buy It? We would recommend RENTING IT FIRST to see if you'll like it. We would watch it again, but not too many more times. We hope you have found this Review HELPFUL.

LUV this film! Have always thought and continue to feel Robert Downey Jr. should have received Academy Award for his performance in 'Chaplin' = one of our great all - time actors ... his timing is impeccible ~ comedy/drama/action ... he can do it all very well indeed. He does another super job in this film with a fresh twist in the story line /witty bantering between his character and that played by Val Kilmer (another favorite) who portrays a macho (gay) detective. Everything is done well in this film and the pace moves along quickly with good editing/musical score. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for ADULTS only!
I saw this in the theater when it came out; sadly not much money spent on commercials or hype, but was intrigued by the 4 stars review. Still I went in with little to no expectations. I went with a friend and the movie had both of us laughing out loud. Downey is as usual hilarious in deadpanning, and Kilmer is gives a wonder portrayl of a non-stereotypical gay detective. The storyline is original and quirky and the twists and turns had me quite tense. There is some partial nudity, voilence and foul language, but nothing that I personally found offensive since it came with a good dose of ridiculous comic relief. Just a wonderful movie that should deserve much more attention then it has recieved. I have recommended this movie to a lot of people who were skeptical about a movie they've heard very little about and they all agreed after watching it that it is a hoot.Read full review
