A very cool movie, directed by the man who wrote all the "Lethal Weapon"-movies.
A film noir about a petty thief who by coincidence is mistaken for an actor an brought to Los Angeles for a movie-part. Suddenly he finds himself in the middle of an murder investigation with his high-school dream girl, and a gay detective who’s been training him for his upcoming role.
Downey and Kilmer (has he ever been this good?) are very cool…sometimes maybe a bit too cool even…as is the film. An enjoyable two hours with 2005’s sharpest dialogue.
It won’t fit all moviegoers…but if you’re in the right type of mode it fits perfect.
…and no, the song of the day has nothing to do with this movie. It’s the Bond song from "Thunderball" that never got released. But well…the movie took it’s name from this Japanese nick name for James Bond and it fitted too well to be ignored.
…and I saw such a funny sketch with the guys behind "Little Britain" the other day, where one of them where Shirley Bassey (and the other one where Tom Jones…the guy who got to sing the theme-song for "Thunderball instead of Shirley….but I’m getting WAY off topic now) so it is a tribute to that also…
Tomorrow’s a new day and a new song.
