The Nice Guys is a buddy comedy film with elements of the neo-noir and crime genres, which stars Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe and directed by Shane Black, who is also the co-writer. Set in late 1970s Los Angeles, Gosling and Crowe play two different private detectives that reluctantly team up to solve the death of a porn actress which leads them to a government conspiracy involving lots of dead bodies and smog. Though slow and tedious at times, the film is funny, well written, and fun to watch though to among other things the chemistry between the two actors, the bloody fun violence, the amazing performance by the young actress playing Gosling's daughter, and two hilarious scenes involving hallucinations of both a giant bee and Richard Nixon. A perfect call back to the noir films of the '70s, Shane Black previously made a similar film called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang that is just as acclaimed and thus makes me want to see it now that I've seen The Nice Guys. Over all: 96%
