“You’re trying the save the life of the man who ruined your career, and avenge the death of the guy that fucked your wife.”

1991’s The Last Boy Scout is the kind of odd couple action story screenwriter Shane Black has explored over his long career before perfecting it in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. The film stars Bruce Willis as down on  his luck private investigator Joe Hallenbec who gets roped into a case by a colleague (Bruce McGill) secretly screwing his wife (Chelsea Field) that involves a dead stripper (Halle Berry), a washed-up NFL quarterback (Damon Wayans), and a greedy NFL owner (Noble Willingham).

Writer/director Bart Layton‘s adaptation of Don Winslow‘s novella offers a mix between a heist film and a drama featuring the interconnected lives of strangers who converge.
