Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005 Shane Black & scr)

Q wanted Julia Roberts but everything was too familiar, besides I pushed for more Robert Downey and we hadn't seen this since 10 March 2006... why not? It's very good and funny, and has a knowing way about it (Downey the narrator stops the film on several occasions to talk to the audience). Val Kilmer is a gay detective, Michelle Monaghan is the old girlfriend.

Michael Barrett shot it with class, Jim Page edited. Some of the fake pulp fiction novels have really funny titles like 'Straighten Up and Die Right' and 'You Wouldn't Like to Live There'.
