"I Want You To Picture A Bullet Inside Your Head!" Having supplied most of the 80s with its buddy cop snark, screenwriter Shane Black steps behind the camera to show all the pretenders how its really done.

Robert Downey Jr steps out of movie jail with this perfectly biting jackass performance. Tony Stark is born in Harry Lockhart, small time crook turned actor turned gumshoe. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a mean little miracle of a meta comedy - a film that expertly mixes chuckles & violence, more so than the best of Lethal Weapons or the smiling hate of The Last Boy Scout.

Val Kilmer delivers his final hurrah of charm as PI Gay Perry, the Abbott to Downey's Costello...or is he Costello to Downey's Abbott. Whatever. They're beautiful together. "For all you good people in the midwest, sorry we said 'Fuck' so much.

" VF.
