Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Saturday morning, nice weather outside...a lot of pending stuff to be done but for 103 minutes I could resist the temptation to go outside and keep the tensions of incomplete tasks at bay.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is the story of a petty thief Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) who lands in a LA party after gatecrashing into an audition while fleeing from cops. In the party he bumps into a struggling actor (Harmony Faith Lane) and realizes her to be his childhood friend. He is introduced to Gay Perry (Val Kilmer), a private detective, whose job is to "keep corpses" away from his boss. Harry is asked to take detective lessons from Gay and they end up witnessing a murder. What follows is a hilarious, but not in your face moments. Robert Downey Jr. did a great job as the narrator and the "side kick" of Val Kilmer. Haven't seen too many Kilmer movies.. had seen only Batman Forever but it was good to know that the guy has a funny bone and keep a straight face while "joking". Michelle Monaghan as Harmony was perfect. Neither too feminine nor a shaolin returned action lady. This movie would seem like a quentin tarantino or guy ritchie kind of movie. Fast paced & funny. A very entertaining and "edge of the seat" kind of movie.
