I heard Val Kilmer and Robert Downey, Jr. on the radio a few days ago, and it seemed as though their mutual energy would be really fun, so Milca and I went to see Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang with high expectations. We weren’t disappointed. Val Kilmer belongs in comedy, period. Robert Downey, Jr. is a natural, and hits his role perfectly.
Downey plays an excon turned actor, and Kilmer plays the gay private detective that will teach him the trade for an upcoming role. In their time together they become entangled in murder, mishief, and mayhem. It’s a great little mystery movie, which is a genre long forgotten by mainstream Hollywood.
The pacing was all over the place here and there, but overall I’d say that it’s worth seeing. If you’re on the fence, it is absolutely worth the rental fee.
yeah. I really want to see this movie.
I don’t think I’ve seen Kilmer in anything since Spartan (awesome movie, btw). I usually really like his movies, he’s a great actor.
