Yes, this film was gritty. I don't mind grittiness, but it was just plain bad. It made no sense.
As for Kilmer being a great actor. I agree. I thought it was ironic that he played a corpse, while the rest of the cast, who couldn't act at all, played living characters and Kilmer had no lines. He's definitely a bit cooler in my book for that bit of ironic statement.
I have to admit, I was hoping for a bit of the Doc Holiday character to come out, but we'll probably never see that from Kilmer again, since he doesn't believe in going back. His level of depth keeps progressing. No other actor could claim they played a corpse for an entire movie. Not after they've established themselves, at least. I know Costner did at the beginning of his career.
Wilson to House: Wow. Looks like someone filed half-way through your cane while you were sleeping.
