    > 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'. That's why I did not bother to check it out its teaser and trailer, but now I feel terrible for my crappy judgement. Because this w…

    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._

    This speaks of its roots, and represent them fairly This is a 70s buddy-cop movie, after a fashion, just 40-odd years late to theaters. Our two leads are of course stand-outs in this, and do a fantastic job, but they also have great supporting cast, and noone really falls flat. The writing is funny, the direction on point and the action just exactly as convoluted as you need it to be in a movie such as this. It is h…

    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…
