My rating: 3/10

This is the first time I notice a huge gap between what seems the IMDB consensus and my own opinion. The last time I checked, KKBB was rated 7.9/10 and I can’t begin to figure why.

Too many bang bang, too many car crashes, not so many kiss kiss, nothing sexy at all, it is like watching an episode of “McGyver”, where the only resources available are dumb dialogues and pistols.

For example, Val Kilmer, playing “Gay Perry”, wears a small gun with his undies… and when he finally fires it, Robert Downey – playing “Harry Lockhart”, the main character – says, surprised, something like “I thought that was something only homos could do”. It is this kind of humour you’ll find…

The fact is that this is NOT Cinema – it is “glueing” of footage. It achieves some humorous moments, and its actors and actresses are good professionals, but its 103 minutes are really nothing more than a cocktail of poor escapades towards poor finale.

I was really disappointed with KKBB.
