Story: A mismatched pair of private eyes investigate the apparent suicide of a fading porn star in 1970s Los Angeles.
Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe and Shane Black have made the new Lethal Weapon. If you have never seen the Lethal Weapon movies, you should. While Shane only wrote the first two instalments of Lethal Weapon, he has become a nifty director (just check out Iron Man 3, one of the best Iron Man movies in my opinion)
Right off the bat, Nice Guys introduces us to the characters of Russell and Ryan. One is a lone shark who hunts down bad guys for cash while the other is a widower / detective who helps look for people in exchange for cash.
The two get wrangled up together when a girl named Amelia hires Russell to take care of some guys who are asking around about her. Eventually Ryan and Russell team up to help find Amelia, as she is under threat of death. Ryan' s daughter in the film (played by Angourie Rice) helps out and she so reminds me of a young Naomi Watts. Matt Bomer (Magic Mike) appears as a gun for hire and he plays the villain role well. Keith David and Kim Basinger pop up as other characters looking for Amelia. Keith is fantastic and Kim plays it like she did in L.A Confidential.
John Ottman and David Buckley compose the score and its surprisingly witty and pretty good. David will be teaming up with another John...Powell, for Mr. Bourne's return.
Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe make the movie as the two have such solid chemistry. Russell is tough as nails and Ryan is really bumbling hilarious. They both make the movie a fun and entertaining romp. Shane Black, of course, has given them a fantastic script to work from.
Shane Black's third movie is a great throw back to 70s action comedies and benefits from some terrific chemistry between its leads.
By the way, as news may have it, Shane Black is set next to direct and write a new instalment in a classic 80s franchise. And a certain governa may return.
The Predator will be back!
