> An unexpected and thoroughly entertained retro comedy! It all began from this year's Oscars, I saw this pair for the first time and I knew its their film promotion strategy. So I went to look for the full details and I thought I'll end up as another silly comedy like 'Daddy's Home'.

I've never been a Ryan Gosling fan. No movie ever before has come as close to turning me around in that than _The Nice Guys_. Director Shane Black is in top form with broad appeal, terrific performances, and honestly more humour than anything I've seen in years. _Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._

The Nice Guys is a solid detective movie with witty humor. Continuing the formula of 70's - 80's action movies, mixing tough guys action and humor. It has an interesting plot involving a conspiracy of the unsospected elite in pornography business. Best quote in the movie: "You know who else was just following orders? Hitler!" Concise explanation of why this movie bombed despite the good plot. Unfortunately, the…
