DVD Review "KISS KISS BANG BANG" Score; B-

What aims to be a cool as PULP FICTION, TRUE ROMANCE esqe movie ultimately falls short and lacks the coolness it needs. Downey Jr. and Kilmer make a nice buddy team in an odd way, but Downey's character (our Narrator) is a fish out of water, who is little more than a two bit criminal who throws some con man in. Kilmer as the cool as ice, gay hitman, private eye, client protector delivers a nice performance. The writing is actually very well done and this one progresses decently enough, I think the lack of solid characters (other than the two leads) is what is missing in this one. More memorable characters (Like in PULP) would elevate this film up. Overall its cool, just not uber-cool.
