An alcoholic human resources worker with a prostitute fetish is dragged down by the growing anger of his disheveled uncle and embittered cousin in director Paul Bojack's simmering and deliberate thriller. The company that Jimmy (Henry LeBlanc) is downsizing, and in between bouts of heavy boozing and kinky encounters with a local prostitute, Jimmy recently provided some invaluable help to his ailing Uncle Hodge (Al Rossi). Despite Jimmy's noble intentions, however, the seemingly-inconsequential favor that he performed for his Uncle Hodge has unexpectedly become the catalyst for a bitter feud between Hodge and his resentful son Andrew (Steve Wilcox). Now, as Andrew vows to destroy Jimmy and Jimmy finds himself in the unusual position of being able to prevent the murder of either Andrew or Hodge, the ensuing moral dilemma soon prompts the dejected human resources specialist to weight the benefits and drawbacks of his relationships with both men in order to determine who will live, and who will die. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A thesp-turned-crook gets a chance at career in movies as well as crime scene investigation in this offbeat action comedy with nods to Raymond Chandler. Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) is a struggling New York actor who high-tails it to Los Angeles. Once there, Lockhart winds up at the posh home of the aptly named homosexual private eye Gay Perry (Val Kilmer) amid a lavish Hollywood party, hoping to score a life-changing role in a Hollywood feature. Harry becomes reacquainted with Harmony (Michelle Monaghan), a girl he had a major crush on in his small-town Indiana high school, who may be a bit more interested in him now than she was years ago. He takes both her and her girlfriend home with him, but -- in a moment of drunken stupor -- accidentally sleeps with the wrong woman. Meanwhile, when a series of female bodies turns up across L.A., Harry slowly breaks into detective work, mentored by Perry. The biggest twist? Shane Black riffs Adaptation and other films by having Harry (via satirical narration) write the movie while he is living it. Harry assures the audience that unlike Lord of the Rings, this one won't have 17 endings. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang marks the first directorial credit for Black, who created the Lethal Weapon franchise. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
