Actually rather good, I was surprised

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2020)

My expectations for this film were low given how many times I've read good things about a comedy on this site and been disappointed. However, on this occasion, I think the positive reviews are justified. Not only is 'The Nice Guys' a credible comedy but I was impressed by how well-made it is all-round.
The first thing that struck me about this film is how good it looks - it's not short on style, especially for a comedy. There's some impressive action scenes and the film gets the balance between comedy and action about right - it's certainly fun to watch. Gosling and Crowe are both great in their roles and are very funny together.
'The NIce Guys' was a pleasant surprise to me, it feels like a long time since I've seen a modern-day comedy that has lived up to the hype but I think this one did.
