    I have just a few movies that I can watch over and over again and still enjoy it as much as the first time. Movies that may have not been the big “tent pole” movies that got all the publicity, but were amazing in their own right. I put this movie up with “The Zero Effect” and “The Good Guys”. This movie is so full of delicious quotes you can throw back and forth with your friends. Highly recommend.

    If I had paid more than 99c to rent this I would be screaming for my money back, had to turn it off after 20 min, that bad.
  • Quirky dark comedy noir masterpiece

    Whenever Shane Black gets involved with a film it’s reason for fans of crime thrillers blessed with sharp and witty (often hilarious) dialogue to rejoice. In the past Black has written some exciting and snarky screenplays (Lethal Weapon, Long Kiss Goodnight, Monster Squad, Last Boy Scout) but here he also takes on directorial duties in a tale of private eyes, blackmail, murder and conspiracy in modern day Los Angeles. Val Kilmer is perfect as a private eye to the stars with viscous wit and impeccable style. Robert Downey Jr. made his big critical comeback in his role as a low level thief that stumbles his way into the movie business and then into a plot right out of a pulp fiction detective novel. Together they survive by their wits, some cleverly hidden firearms and a magician’s reflexes. It’s a smart, exciting film noir dark comedy masterpiece.
  • A Comedy?

    I'm not sure why this is categorized as a comedy because I found not much funny about it. Interesting, yes. Funny, no. Worth a watch.

    A classic that no one has seen. Instant success from Downey's comeback movie which lead him into the actor he has become.

    I don't know how 84% could like this. Every time it started getting somewhere, I was disappointed. Save your money and don't waste your time.

    I'm beginning to really question rotten tomatoes score on movies. This is a terrible movie. The editing and story are lame and I don't even understand why a movie like this is made. It's not fun at all to watch. It's almost like all the actors are just full of themselves and have no care about the script. I had to turn the movie off in the middle.
  • 4 star preview, 2 star movie

    All four funny parts in this movie were in the preview which means that there was absolutely no reason to rent this movie, forget buying this movie. I've been soundly ripped off. Horribly edited, poorly acted, bizarre script. If the producers had hired the person who edited this movie to make the preview, this would have been a great movie. As it is, it's not as bad as My Dinner With Andre or Napoleon Dynamite but not nearly as good as many other movies available at iTunes. I seem to be striking out this week with the very small offerings available on iTunes.
