Comments

1. Ava: people always forget that a good script can be more salvageable than talent alone is what keeps me coming back to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's underrated direction by Shane Black
2. Cleor: somehow i remember this being really underrated back in the day
3. Aiden: i was really hoping to see some love for Shane Black's directing style here
4. Mirage Nomad: i've been thinking more about what made kiss kiss bang bang work, and i still think it's because he was given a lot of space to improvise
5. Dane: I don't think people realize how much of a risk kiss kiss bang bang was for downey jr's career at that point he wasn't exactly rolling in projects
6. Kairomano: RDJ's career resurgence isn't that surprising after rewatching this. He has incredible chemistry on screen
7. Ember Lynx: never really considered his early 00s output 'bonkers' before but i guess that's the point
8. Ivy: it's interesting how some films are written off but still had an impact - kiss kiss bang bang was definitely a turning point for rdj, but not necessarily because it was great in
9. Aria: it's weird thinking about what would've happened if he kept hitting rock bottom, not that kiss kiss bang bang itself is forgettable for me, but it was a pivot moment
10. Ruby: it's wild how people romanticize kiss kiss bang bang as some kind of redemption story for rdj but really it just highlighted the absurdity of his talent being squandered on
11. Felix: love how they gloss over the comedic genius RDJ brought to the script 🤣
12. Danesantos: never liked kiss kiss bang bang that much but it's clear what made rdj tick at the time -
13. Karimluna: down to earth storytelling made this one stick in my head even if it's not as remembered now
