"You don't get it, do you? This isn't "good cop, bad cop." This is fag and New Yorker. You're in a lot of trouble." Razor-sharp, witty dialogue to complement explosive action sequences is a trademark of screenwriter Shane Black. Back in 1987, Black sold a script entitled Lethal Weapon. Over the subsequent decade he continued to purvey excellent screenplays, and at the pinnacle of his career Black was indeed the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood. From The Last Boy Scout to The Long Kiss Goodnight, Black served up popcorn cinema saturated with sarcastic, snappy dialogue and intelligent, engaging characters.

This film is about Harry a petty thief that becomes involved in a murder investigation with Gay Perry (a private investigator) and Harmony (his high school sweetheart and wannabe actress), where bodies seem to be piling up. Harry pretends to be a private eye and promises Harmony to help find her sisters murderer. The plot is full of twists and turns to find out the full story. I really enjoyed this film and was convinced, due to its ironic and sarcastic humor, that it was written by British writers or at least heavily influenced by British comedy. It is in fact co-written and directed by Shane Black, an American screen writer. I'm not use to seeing Val Kilmer (Gay Perry)in a comedy but he carries off the sarcastic humor very well and you cant help but like him. His lines get funnier...Read more

I honestly can not understand what people like about this movie. I turned it off after 30 minutes. The reason being is because I found it not only boring but the narration really started to grate on my nerves.

I think this is one of those ones where you shouldn't decide if you'll watch it going by what others say.
