      • Jul 30, 2017
        Endearing, entertaining and funny, but rife with silliness and excessive coincidence. Coen Brothers-esque.

        Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, an ill-fitting duo at first glance, turn out to be quite a team in The Nice Guys. They're both hilarious, and Ryan Gosling shines in a funny departure from his typically dramatic roles. The film has the tone and attitude of a classic buddy-cop movie made popular years ago, which works very well. With that being said, it sometimes gives off the "been there, done that" vibe. It moves at a brisk pace, so it can be hard to keep up with the plot, so I can imagine it being rewarding after multiple viewings. This is a fun movie meant to be seen with a large group of friends.

        Features everything there is to love about the buddy cop genre, and the nod at 80's culture was just the best icing on top you could ask for. I'm surprised Marsh's daughter isn't on the promotional images or the title because it might as well have been a 3-man show! Every laugh, punch, kick and gunshot is delivered with such excellence that it makes you forget the whole ordeal is a dated stereotype. It's almost amazing to enjoy such a well crafted buddy cop film in 2015 with all the elements you would expect from a classic. A truly great watch!

        Written and directed by Shane Black, The Nice Guys is a fun and entertaining action-comedy. Set in the late '70s, a private detective and an enforcer team up to find a missing girl who starred in a porno and has become the target of a conspiracy that is killing everyone involved with the film. Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling deliver strong performances and have great chemistry together. And, child actress Angourie Rice is also quite impressive, giving the film some heart with a touching father/daughter relationship. Additionally, the costumes and sets do an extraordinary job at setting a retro '70s tone, as does the soundtrack. However, the storytelling is a little weak, as it's kind of hard to follow the plot and how everyone is involved. The Nice Guys, while it has some problems, is a clever and satirical film that delivers some good laughs.
