Thieves, Beauties and Spies

In the narration of Harry (played by Robert Downey Jr.), this story with black humor begins. He was originally a thief who had been on bad luck. He broke into a Hollywood movie audition studio while evading police pursuit. It can be said that the director suddenly took a liking to Harry and asked him to go to Los Angeles to receive character training. Harry has become a "quasi-actor" inexplicably, and he will play a detective. The crew specially arranged for Harry to go to the real detective Perry (Val Kilmer) to experience the real detective life. A murder case awaits their investigation, and the deceased is a woman. This thrilling life really made Harry suffer a lot, because the cold-blooded Perry was not an easy partner to deal with. At the same time, Harry reunited with his childhood dream lover Harmony (Michelle Monaghan) at the party. She has already worked hard in Hollywood, but she is still not famous. Now her sister has mysteriously committed suicide. In order to win the heart of the beauty, Harry began to investigate the matter. Only then did he slowly discover that it was related to the murder case they had taken over before, and that it was behind the scenes.
