Lack of good storyline.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A Major Disappointment

Though the story-telling is distinctive, the theme is still belonging to Hollywood mainstream. In addition to climax of the story needs to be improved a bit, the film maintains a fairly smooth emotional flow and a mature theme construction. When the story is about to be patterned, there are always some wonderful details to break the boredom. Therefore, with a good overall layout, some of the film's minor flaws should be forgiven.

Some films can give you the time of your life & 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is among those films. A rocking good time, this Neo-Noir/Black-Comedy Crime film is arresting, smart & very satisfying. I wonder why not many people mention this film when they discuss films of the past decade? 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' Synopsis: A murder mystery brings together a private eye, a struggling actress, and a thief masquerading as an actor.'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is pure entertainment from start to end. Its an engrossing story of there extreme characters, bought together by fate. The twist & turns are cleverly done & always keeps you guessing. And while you don't know what to expect in very next scene, you'll also laughs your lungs out. The camaraderie between its twisted characters often results in hilarity. I don't remember the last time I had such a good time watching a film!Shane Black is in top-form as a Writer & Director. His Screenplay is thrilling & hilarious. Not for a single moment does the Writing take a dip. Black's Direction is strong too. He has handled this delightful story with admirable conviction. Michael Barrett's Cinematography captures the spirit of Los Angeles, perfectly. Jim Page's Editing is razor-sharp. Art & Costume Deisgn are well-done. Performance-Wise: Robert Downey, Jr., Val Kilmer, Michelle Monaghan are up for vie top honors. Downey, Jr. is awesome as the thief who gets into deep trouble. Monaghan is seductive & astonishing as the leading-lady with secrets of her own. And Kilmer steals the show as the openly gay detective. These 3 actors turn 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' into a roller-coaster! On the whole, 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is a delightful blast! Two Big Thumbs Up!

Plot: A murder mystery brings together a private eye, a struggling actress, and a thief masquerading as an actor.This movie is a prime example of how to do a buddy film. The thing that makes this different from the others is that Shane Black actually takes the clichés of those films and turns it on its head. The cast all do a wonderful job especially Robert Downey Jr, Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan. They have terrific chemistry and help portray their characters as likable and quirky. The script is one of a kind from Shane and very underrated just like a lot of Shane's work. His movies deserve to be talked about and not just pushed to the side. My only issue with the film and why it gets an 8 is the lack of screen time for the villain. He is very underdeveloped and that's the only thing disappointing because most of Black's villain are at least developed or have a personality which this villain lacked because of the limited screen time that he got.Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a perfect example of how to be clever with its story whether it's a buddy film, a black comedy, or a thriller. This film despite it's one flaw is a great film that I feel should be given a chance by the general public.

This unfairly overlooked if sometimes uneven parody of detective and noir films (that has moments of feeling like a real thriller itself) is extremely well acted. It's no surprise that Robert Downey is a lot of snarky-but-lovable fun as a NYC small time thief brought out to L.A. to test for the lead in a film after a series of bizarre twists. What did catch me off guard was Val Kilmer matching Downey laugh for laugh and sharp edge for sharp edge as a gay Los Angeles private detective who takes Downey under his wing. The two make an improbable but very entertaining pair. It's also nice that writer/director Shane Black and actress Michelle Monaghan make something a little more fun and complicated of 'the girl' than simply someone who looks good while waiting for Downey to get busy and kiss her. The plot of the mystery itself has got a number of gaping holes and silly coincidences, and it lacks a real of feeling of danger, but the film has a breezy charm and quick witted inventive intelligence that just about renders the fact that the detective story doesn't really work a moot point.
