Notes

My quick rating - 7,2/10. This one showed up under "Tis the Season" from Plex so since I don't recall seeing this one, I may as well check it out. Then again, as big of a fan of Val Kilmer as I am, I somehow doubt I missed it. The answer was I definitely did miss this excellent mystery flick. The acting by both heavy hitters is spot on and extremely fun. Their timing for the jokes is perfect and keeps the tone light in the midst of a murder plot. Robert Downey Jr. plays a small-time thief who gets mistaken as an actor and is paired up with a detective (Kilmer) for a movie role. But when this turns into a real-life crime, they have to work with each other to help save Michelle Monaghan from being killed. Each role for the time was a departure from their norms, well maybe not so much Kilmer but RDJ definitely. The whole thing was very inventive and just played out to a tee. I have to assume this one didn't quite reach the overall audience it could have due to the language. There is quite a bit of F-bombs lobbed around pulling this into R rated territory when really nothing else did. The style of presenting the story from RDJ playing both the narrator and main character was also a nice touch. Especially how it lends itself to a very amusing wrap-up. There is little doubt that these two had a blast making this movie and it is too bad they couldn't have taken another stab at it since the door could've been open for a sequel. Still a great flick that has made my collection and doesn't need to be saved for Xmas viewing just because the story just so happens to be around the holiday.ch other to help save Michelle Monaghan from being killed.
