Kiss Kiss Bang Bang / USA / 2005

Shane Black’s return to screenwriting (and debut as a director) is as trashy, violent and mildly offensive as one would expect; surprisingly, it’s also superbly cast, disarmingly good natured and genuinely funny. The dialogue could be described as post-Tarantino- there are a fair amount of pop culture references and a whole lot of swearing- but uniquely for a film of this type it feels as though Black genuinely cares about his words and chooses them carefully- every line feels picked over, precise, chosen with loving care.
