The Nice Guys was a pretty entertaining detective movie taking place in the late '70s

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2016)

I had wanted to watch this movie for a while because of the '70s atmosphere so I just watched this with my movie theatre-working friend just now. It had a pretty weird vibe that was pretty humorous much of the time though not always hilariously so. Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling reluctantly team up in search of a young woman who's involved in a porno film and Kim Basinger is also involved somehow. Much of the movie is pretty entertaining though because I was a child of the decade in question and I know what music came out certain years especially the 1977 timeline here, it took me a little out of the picture when I heard something like Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"-which came out two years after that year-playing in the background. Still, The Nice Guys is worth a look for anyone interested in the era. Oh, and how cool to once again see the Saul Bass Warner Bros. logo beginning this one...
