Review of The Singing Detective (2003) by Rick Groen for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 22 Aug 2007
At one point, Downey's character is asked, "What are you gonna do with all this rage, this hate?" and he snaps back, "I'll probably just write serious literature." On TV, where the material seemed both serious and literate, that bit of black humour felt prophetic.
On film, it's just a good joke.
