Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I am not politically correct. In fact, I despise the entire movement as it stifles certain freedoms and forces a sacrifice in the name of faux politeness.
Anyway. There seemed to be a certain niche in Hollywood that made completely tongue-in-cheek humor with complete disregard for the norms of politeness. This was an art that was difficult to master because too little and it came off as shallow pretense and too much and it fell into downright vulgarity.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a type of movie that has not been released in a long time.
It is a wicked comedy if you are as fed up as me with the current Hollywood trend of sugaring up everything and going politically correct with every exhalation.
The movie has some really funny moments and a sharp dialogue exchange that makes it a fucking pleasure to watch. Val Kilmer is especially great and Robert Downey Jr. portrays his character wonderfully.
Michelle Monaghan looked to-die-for, absolutely stunning and perfect in her role. I first saw her in Mission - Impossible III and was thoroughly disappointed. Not every woman looks good in an action flick and Michelle signifies glamor and beauty that I have certainly missed in Hollywood productions.
If you wish your language clean and your humor coming out of Sunday School then you best avoid this movie.
As Val Kilmer says at the end, "And for all of you good people in the mid-west, sorry we said fuck so much."
Love this movie.
