A private detective (Val Kilmer - Alexander), a thief posing as a struggling actor (Robert Downey Jr. - Gothika) and an actual struggling actress (Michelle Monaghan - The Bourne Supremacy) become entangled in a murder mystery filled with twists, turns, betrayal and, most importantly, romance.

"[A] movie-lover's movie."
— Susan Walker, Toronto Star
"[Robert Downey Jr. is] the quickest, sharpest, slyest and wryest comic actor on the screen."
— Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"Bold and breathless, this trippy, hilarious, know-it-all comedy-thriller will have you reliving its ironic spoils for days,"
— Empire Magazine
"It's funny and it's exciting."
— David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia)
"An ultra-knowing exercise in genre deconstruction, and something of a charmer to boot."
— Ben Walters, Time Out
"A sarky, sniping film noir homage that assassinates the character of every LA archetype you could imagine."
— Wendy Ide, The Times (UK)
"A smart, hilarious and affec tionate spoof of detective movies -- and Hollywood -- starring the inspired team of Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer."
— Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"A trippy tribute to L.A. noir that blazes through its running time, a genre-busting blitzkrieg attack on Hollywood pretentiousness that's just as full of it as the pulp paperbacks and their myriad filmic offshoots that it lampoons."
— Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
