glad you loved this. one of my favourite films from the last decade. it's a shame not many have heard about this. one of the best films by RDJ and I can't understand why Shane black is not doing more movies.
He just directed two films, this one and Iron Man 3, right?
I loved it and until short time ago I didn't knew about it.
He's better known as a screenwriter.
Amongst others he wrote;
Lethal Weapon
The Last Boy Scout (directed by Tony Scott)
Last Action Hero (under appreciated and Black's humour here is sharp)
The Long Kiss Goodnight (under rated in my opinion)
He's been attached to write and direct "Doc Savage", an adventurer/scientist/detective created in the 1930's. Done well, it will be awesome.
Yes, now I know :)
From all you've mention I just saw the Lethal Weapon films. But I really like to see him direct more stuff.

I've never heard anything about this film until I saw some great reviews here on Letterboxd and why in the hell didn't I've never heard of it before!? It's great!
It's a highly entertaining dark comedy! Shane Black's writting is funny and sharp and his direction very stylish. It's thrilling, quirky, dry, clever with super fast dialogues.
Once again Robert Downey Jr. is amazing! The more I see from him the more I love him. But I also really enjoyed Val Kilmer's role as the gay detective. The two had some great scenes together and the crazy situations that they are involved provide great laughs.
