Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Review

This movie was a knockout comedy for me. I laughed more than any other movie that i can think of right now. Again, Robert Downey Jr. blew this out of the park for me with his amazing acting skills. He is... Full review

This is one of the most entertaining films I've seen in a long time. Why? Great acting, a fresh spin on film noir and above all it was consistently funny! I can't remember the last time I've laughed that much during... Full review

Wow, 2005 actually pulled out a funny film. The thing I hate, though, is that films that are actually good and that people should recognize at the box office are never a box office success. So, yeah, I thought it was... Full review

Grounded in that, but blazing its own trail, it becomes one of the most original and entertaining film of this or any other year. It's a delicious conceit played with just the right blend of deadpan delivery and tongue-in-cheek élan. ... Full Review

Urban Cinefile
From the 60s referenced graphic design of the opening titles [self generating floral lines depicting gunsmoke, for example, stick men figures and fast moving shapes] to the lacerating black humour threaded through dialogue, plot and cinematography, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang dares to make us laugh at the most arbitrary violence one minute and smile with bemused enchantment the next. ...

It was a strong conclusion to a show that just keeps picking up momentum the more it goes. There are some very interesting confession scenes amongst teammates that wouldn't have happened and been so quickly forgotten if the shapeshifter wasn't involved ... Full Review

So here I am, ready to talk about the creative content of a Shane Black film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang . Needless to say, the two separate cases have some overlap, but Black does such a fine job whipping the narrative in several directions at once that the connections aren't easy to make-even after they've been revealed! ...

I often frown upon gimmicks to elicit laughs, but Blacks penning wit combined with Downeys boisterous performance is hard to put down. These first minutes prove Blacks script and direction is not conventional Hollywood filmmaking in the least, even more so when Downey acknowledges hes the narrator in his opening narration, stopping and rewinding the film to point out mistakes or something worth mocking with Blacks signature witty dialogue. ...
