Whenever somebody gets around to a full retrospective of Robert Downey Jr.’s career, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang could arguably be viewed as the single most pivotal moment, with Shane Black’s directorial debut marking the middle ground between the embryonic stages of his comeback and his full-blown ascendancy to the very top of the Hollywood A-list.
