(Rules of Attraction) registering any impact with me. Question is can he re-ignite his glory days where he was earning over $1 million a script? Well as far as I am concerned the answer is yes! Kiss Kiss Bang Bang brings the Lethal Weapon style buddy movie slap bang into the new century. With a wry, sardonic narration by Downey that not only follows cinematic traditions but continually apologises for doing so! I dislike the term post modern but it really does fit KKBB so well.

It is clearly late at night and he is on the phone to a young sounding boy who we soon find out is his ...
