- DirectorShane BlackStarsRobert Downey Jr.Val KilmerMichelle MonaghanAfter being mistaken for an actor, a New York thief is sent to Hollywood to train under a private eye for a potential movie role, but the duo are thrown together with a struggling actress into a murder mystery.The title of Shane Black's shaggy-dog crime tale is taken from an anthology of Pauline Kael's film reviews, a description of the visceral thrills she treasured in movies. Not sure what she would have thought of Black's film, which offers a little kiss kiss, a lot of bang bang, and a heaping helping of WTF? Robert Downey Jr. plays a thief turned sleuth who gets caught up with an eccentric private eye (Val Kilmer) and a dizzy dame (Michelle Monaghan) in a bizarre Hollywood murder mystery. The film wasn't a hit, but it remains a cult favorite for a devoted few.
