The Nice Guys

 The Nice Guys is one of those movies that I was incredibly excited for. What was the end result? One of the best movies I’ve seen so far this year. The movie centers on Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling playing two opposites who come together after getting embroiled in a hilariously bizarre murder mystery. are a fantastic comedic pairing with great chemistry and timing. They make for your typical odd couple which helps make them an entertaining pair. Crowe as Jackson Healy is a loose-cannon rough-and-tough enforcer-for-hire is perfect casting, as is Gosling as a constantly drunk private investigator who faints at the sight of blood, and isn’t much help in a fight. Actress Angourie Rice as Gosling’s daughter is the movie’s breakout performance and character in my opinion. I will admit that the movie does slow down to a slight drag at points, but that’s only a minor nitpick for me. This one of those movies for me that has some of the best character development I have seen in a while. Every single character seems fleshed out. This is a movie I wouldn’t mind seeing turned into a franchise (as long as it’s Shane Black coming back to work with the characters.
