Set against the backdrop of 1977 Los Angeles, The Nice Guys opens when single father and licensed PI Holland March (Gosling) is hired to investigate the apparent suicide of famous porn star Misty Mountains. As the trail leads him to track down a girl named Amelia (Qualley), he encounters less licensed and less hands-off private eye Jackson Healey (Russell Crowe) and his brass knuckles, both hired by the young hippie. However, the situation takes a turn for the worse when Amelia vanishes and it becomes apparent that March wasn't the only party interested. As both men are forced to team up, they'll have to take on a world filled with eccentric goons, strippers dressed as mermaids and even a possible government conspiracy.User Reviews
The Nice Guys
I'll admit that I am
unfamiliar with most of Shane Black's original works, watching The Nice
Guys made me want to go back and take a look at his earlier films. The
characters were well written, even better cast, and fit well with the
theme of the film. There was rare a dull moment, it seemed I was either
enjoying the dark comedic tone, or getting engaged in the plot. While
the first two thirds of the film seemed excellent, the writers set
themselves up for a fantastic finish, but were unable to capitalize on
that potential. The script seemed to suddenly turn very basic, with
things "falling" into place almost too miraculously to be true. I never
felt like I had truly been given an ending worthy of a classic detective
story, but the fast pace of the film and humor was enough to make it
very enjoyable.
