Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang 

Year: 2005
Country: USA
Director: Shane Black
Starring: Corbin Bernsen, Michelle Monaghan, Robert Downey, Jr., Shannyn Sossamon, Val Kilmer
Synopsis: An actor spends time with a gay detective so that he can research how to play him in a movie when the men become involved in a real murder case.
Quick review: One of the films that the other reviewer on this site and I disagreed with was 'Opposite of Sex'. I've noticed a trend, I really don't care for movies where the characters talk directly to the audience. Unfortunately, this is one of those films. And it's so not needed. Val Kilmer plays Gay Perry, a private investigator who is serving as a consultant on Hollywood detective film. But his character -- and every other character -- gets pushed to the background to make way for Robert Downey Jr.'s charcter of Harry Lockhart. Harry is a small-time crook who was accidentally discovered by a casting director. He's being considered for the lead role in a Hollywood detective film and ordered to spend some time with Gay Perry to research his role. During the course of that research, the two men become involved in a couple of cases that seem unrelated at first, but you and the rest of the people next to you all know they will end up being related by the end of the film. There are lots of good moments in this movie and if you took out the characters talking directly to the audience I would have enjoyed it, maybe even given it four triangles. But right at the start we have to listen to Downey's character lecture the audience through flashbacks. What a downer. This movie is a tribute to the old-style detective films, and if they would have left out the new-style interaction, it would have been worthy of that genre. As is, it's OK.
