I thought going into the movie, it would be kind of cheesy, but this was a great flick. Kudos to Shane Black for such an imaginative script, and impressive directorial debut. He is the man and its nice to see him back in his element.
I also didn't expect to laugh so much. The dialogue and perfomances of Downey Jr. and Kilmer make some of the scenes hilarious.
Well worth the ticket.

Shane Black has written some of my favorite movies(Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout). I wont go to the movies to see this but i'm looking foward to the DVD. Val Kilmer has been quoted as saying this is the first time he's played a gay guy unless you want to include Iceman

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. The plot was pretty interesting throughout and the comedy was quirky and funny. It has a couple of laugh out loud moments and Robert Downey Jr's casting was pretty much perfect. Kilmer played a great gay guy too, he has some funny moments as well. I'm not sure who the main chick is but she's mega-hot and takes it off. Good times.

I was confused by this at first, because the mood and plot is a bit in the realm of stuff like LA Confidential, but it's so much more unrealistic with the violence. A fantastic movie, though.

Watched this last night, I enjoyed the entire movie. It was hard to get used to at first and I was a bit annoyed and started to get confused. I thought Kilmer's character was hilarious. Even though the plot was a little out there I was entertained throughout. Pretty "different" kind of movie.

I can't believe I hadn't commented on this already. What a great, fun, well-written movie. This is what Smokin Aces wanted to be but failed miserably.
