![]() Tagline: Sex. Murder. Mystery. Welcome to the party.
A petty thief (Downey) posing as an actor is brought to Los Angeles for an unlikely audition and finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation along with his high school dream girl (Monaghan) and a detective (Kilmer) who's been training him for his upcoming role.
“Go to hell, Jonny Gossamer,” she told me. She’d poured herself into a seamless dress. From the look of it she’d spilled some. - You’ll Never Die In This Town Again.
Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) is basically a decent guy. Sure, he’s a petty thief who skates through life on a shaky cocktail of dog-eared charm and cockeyed optimism, but he wants to do the right thing. He just doesn’t know how, exactly.
Harry’s perpetual bad luck takes a turn for the better when he and his partner are doing some after-hours Christmas “shopping” at a New York City toy store and the security alarm breaks up the party. (Yeah, it sounds like trouble, but keep reading.)
