Simply Outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2016)

One of the best films I've seen in years; the plot and script are highly original and consistently hilarious. Shane Black knocks this out of the park, and while it is definitely an homage to movies of the 80's, it feels so refreshing in the modern day. The film has incredible acting all around. Gosling and Crowe, as unexpected a pairing as Gibson and Glover at the time, have incredible chemistry and sell the movie and their relationship to a tee. Bomer is great as well, but possibly better than all of them is Holly, Gosling's daughter in the film, who for my money is a star. The dialogue is perfect, great cinematography, beautiful sets... I could go all day. It's everything you could want out of this kind of movie. Simply outstanding.
