> An unexpected and thoroughly entertained retro comedy! It all began from this year's Oscars, I saw this pair for the first time and I knew its their film promotion strategy.

Our two leads are of course stand-outs in this, and do a fantastic job, but they also have great supporting cast, and noone really falls flat. The writing is funny, the direction on point and the action just exactly as convoluted as you need it to be in a movie such as this. It is highly enjoyable.

The Nice Guys is a solid detective movie with witty humor. Continuing the formula of 70's - 80's action movies, mixing tough guys action and humor. It has an interesting plot involving a conspiracy of the unsospected elite in pornography business. Best quote in the movie: "You know who else was just following orders? Hitler!" Concise explanation of why this movie bombed despite the good plot. Unfortunately, the movie has and absurd part. In the beginning, one of the two detectives is paid …
