KISS KISS BANG BANG

[Tiplodocus]

Not SF but quite a cool thriller from Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Long Kiss Goodnight but this has much less ludicrous stuff in it).

There's a cracking knowing script (pulp detective novels, Hollywood - OK these are easy targets but it hits them well) and top performances from Robert Downer Jr. and Val Kilmer ("No, I'm up to my neck in pussy, I just like the name").

I've seen the leading lady (Michelle Monaghan?) somewhere before but can't be bothered looking up IMDB from work? Any clues?

I couldn't find the "Good films you may not have heard of" thread so can't figure out if this was on it or not.

I do love the film, You never expect this scene!

Robert as Harry: Well what I'm doing for the guy who likes to bluff is I'm playing a little game called "Am I Bluffing?"
[Loads one round into the revolver to play Russian Roulette]
Harry: Where is she? Where the fuck is Harmony? You want to play hardball? I can do that.
[Spins the chamber and points the gun]
Harry: Where is the girl?
[Shoots the guy in the head]
Val as Gay Perry: [Stuttering at first] What did you just do?
Harry: [Confused] I just put in one bullet, didn't I?
Gay Perry: You put a live round in that gun?
Harry: Well yeah, there was like an 8% chance.
Gay Perry: Eight? Who taught you math!
