Based on the Brett Halliday novel, Bodies Are Where You Find Them, this is one of this films that will keep you thoroughly entertained.
Harry (Robert Downey Jr) is a small time criminal, stealing presents for his kid for Christmas, when he accidentally auditions for a Hollywood film while hiding from the cops.
Val Kilmer and Michelle Monaghan are superb co-stars with wonderful comic timing. Director Shane Black (The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight) also wrote the screenplay.
What follows is a tangled web of misdirection, misinformation and murder that would rival some of the classic Film Noirs.

I think it’s loosely based. But let me know if it’s good.

I read “Get Shorty” and the film is quite closely based on that book. But the movie of The Shining was completely different from the book!
And right now I’m reading The Rainmaker, which is brilliant.
So we’ll see what happens š
