Review of Kiss Kiss... Bang Bang (1966) by Dann M — 16 Dec 2014
A wild black comedy from writer/director Shane Black, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is irreverently fun. When small-time crook turned actor Harry Lockhart shadows a PI to research a role he ends up entangled in the murder of a Hollywood producer's daughter.
Starring Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan, the film has a strong cast. Downey in particular gives an incredible performance, and does a great job at balancing the dark humor with the action.
Additionally, the noir satire is especially well-done. However, the plot is packed with a lot of unnecessary tangents and filler that distracts from the mystery and slows down the film. Yet despite the clutter, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is entertaining and delivers some good laughs.
