This movie went straight to dvd. I rented it the other day. Robert Downey Jr. Val Kilmer. Directed by Shane Black, He wrote the first Lethal Weapon movie. He was also Hawkins (the guy with the dirty jokes) in the first Predator movie.
All in all a pretty good movie. Classic fish out of water private detective movie. Downey, (a petty theif) who through an odd twist of fate ends up in hollywood up for the lead in a private detective movie. He is paired up with a gay private detective, (Kilmer) to get some knowledge of the job. They accidentaly witness a murder and are thrown into the whole mess.
Lots of clever dialog. No super hero antics, just a couple of guys in way over their heads, and there's a girl. I forgot to mention the girl? She is in the middle of murder mystery.
