The Nice Guys (2016):
Its been a long time since I laughed like hell after watching a movie.All the comedies are left out just as a failed attempts of ridiculousness and some times sex.When I found that The Nice Guys is an Investigative crime comedy starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling,I was like "How the heck could it even possible?"But than I got known that this hell of a comedy is from Shane Black who brought us Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which also as same kind of unimaginable cast for a comedy.(Robert Downey Jr.)
Plot:
Jackson Healey (Russell Crowe) is a fixer who fixes things with his fists. Holland March (Ryan Gosling) is a cop who following his wife's death became a drunk. He would become a P.I. who takes on weird cases. He is currently working for a woman who wants him to prove that her niece a porn actress is alive when everyone knows she died recently. His investigation takes him to a girl named Amelia who avoids him. She then hires Healey to tell him to leave her alone which he does. But later some guys go to Healey and want to know where Amelia is. When he handles them, he asks March to help him find Amelia. They learn that Amelia's boyfriend, a film maker was killed and his house was burned down along with the film. They later learn the Porn star's producer is also dead. So what is going on.???
Plus Points:
1)Casting: The Nice Guys would not be the same without Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.These two Superstars of Hollywood teamed up in a most unusual way for this crime comedy and surprisingly they are freaking awesome.There is a scene in this movie where both Russell and Ryan goes in an elevator and when they reach the floor they find a guy with his throat cut and some firing going on.They immediately goes back into the lift for escaping from it.Their expressions in that scene are enough to prove that both of them are not only stars of emotional or kick ass movies.Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are nothing short of perfect. A subtle goofball/straight-man line is drawn between them within their individual approaches to the case, and the back and forth between them is magical, often managing to be blissfully goofy while always remaining grounded and real. Angourie Rice as Holly March,daughter of Gosling is very good and her acting is on par with the legends.
2)Screenplay and Direction: Shane Black did not write any out of the box script or anything.Its just a simple detective buddies investigating a mysterious girl related to the death of a famous porn star. But the way he wrote the funny dialogues and situations are excellent.There are lot of hilarious situations in this film.As a director, Black also demonstrates a fantastic eye for visual comedy, be it Holland struggling to handle a gun, a magazine, and a lit cigarette simultaneously while in a bathroom stall, or Holland and Jackson stepping out of an elevator to an incredibly violent scene. From the movie's opening shot, taking the audience up and over the dilapidated Hollywood sign, Black ensconces you in The Nice Guys' noir world, and you really don't want to let it go by the time the credits roll.
3)Music: There is this funky music playing in the background helped the movie a lot.
So,The Nice Guys is awesome and the credit entirely goes to the unexpectedly hilarious performances of Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.Loved u both
My rating 7.5/10
