The Nice Guys
If it weren't for bad fathers there wouldn't be any porn stars in the world today.
Thankfully, there are no shortages of either in this buddy-comedy.
When an adult film actress (Margaret Qualley) disappears, a gruff enforcer (Russell Crowe) is forced to work with a PI (Ryan Gosling) and his daughter (Angourie Rice) in order to find her - and to dissuade a dangerous third-party.
But when her latest project turns out to be an X-rated expose on the car industry's exhaust inhibitor cover-up, the motley detectives find themselves searching for her misplaced stag film at the 1977 L.A. Auto Show.
With all of the sleaze of 1970s pulp cinema and the witty banter and odd couple camaraderie of classic comedic duos, Gosling and Crowe forge a unique bromance through a sharp script and apt directing.
Furthermore, porn shoots make the best crime scenes on account they're covered in DNA evidence.
