Review of The Nice Guys (2016) by Dann M — 15 Feb 2017
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.
