It Replaces a Gap We've Been Feeling

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2018)

It's been a very, very long time since a movie like this has hit the theatres. Typically, I often find that (especially action and romance movies) in movies there is something missing. I can't put my finger on it exactly but they aren't the same as what they used to be, and not made the way they used to be.
With that in mind I was pleasantly surprised with The Nice Guys. This movie brings back the action police-mafia-chase that we all missed. Character backstory somewhat lacks compared to what we've become used to, but that is all fine because it puts more attention to the mystery at hand. The plot is the main point, and it follows the characters who are dealing with it. Ryan Gosling and Russel Crow have amazing chemistry and it's refreshing to watch them. Borderline slapstick comedy at times, good stunts, and an engaging plot line.
Put simply, it's as if Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run had a baby.
