When I think of a good time watching a movie, this is always one of the first few that pop in my head. Mr. Black has made something that is undeniably unique and memorable with this one. RDJ and Kilmer are extraordinary together. Their chemistry is electrifying and they play off each other as well as the best who has ever done it. That is not to take away from the clever characters and script written by Black. I must say that I appreciate his craft on paper as well as in the directors chair. I wish he would make more movies...
