An excellent homage to 70's violent cinema that was surprisingly not directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2016)

It's set in the 1970's, and it feels like it was made in the 70's, and at the same time satirizes the 70's. Director Shane Black really brings the action comedy and crime thriller qualities and puts them together perfectly.
Two private investigators(Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling) who are both mismatched, become unlikely partners to solve the sudden death of a porn star, and to find a young woman who may be connected, but quickly discover there is more than meets the eye.
It's easy to imagine that Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe where having a blast making this. The two play off each other perfectly during the 70's setting. Angourie Rice(who looks like a young Reese Witherspoon) steals the show as Goslings daughter, she really becomes the heart of the movie, I hope to see more from her in the future. It has great laughs and suspense also. It really keeps you glued, I want to see more films like this in the future.
