Great Fun - Here's my spoiler free overview

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2016)

I saw this at an early preview tonight and I must say, it was a great night at the movies! I was a fan of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Shane Black in general so my anticipation levels were high, especially after the red band trailer. The film didn't disappoint!
Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling are on TOP FORM in this and the pair are a surprisingly excellent double act, Crowe as the grizzled, tough PI and Gosling as the drunk, 'worst detective ever' and it's good to seem them enjoying some levity after their long run of dramatic roles.
Shane Black really delivers and this is his best work to date. His direction is assured and he nailed balance between the neo noir, hard boiled story telling and his trademark snappy banter and dark humour.
The story leaves the door open for a follow up and I for one would love to see more of these characters.
