Something less than the sum of its parts

Rating: 5/10 (14 December 2016)

Gosling and Crow have good chops, and Crow especially can make a bad bit of writing look good simply by being part of it. This is a good thing because this movie needs all the help it can get. The script is a hot mess and the editing seems to have been done with a hatchet. Script consistency? Not their strong point. People leave in the early afternoon, they arrive after dark. Even LA traffic is not that bad.
This movie is trying very hard to be a retro 70s version of Lethal Weapon. Mismatch partners, a bit of comedy, big conspiracy. But the truth is that it bears a much stronger resemblance to the old Richard Dreyfus flick, The Big Fix. That being the case my recommendation is to just watch The Big Fix and save yourself the disappointment.
This movie was OK, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again.
