The Nice Guys Essay
The Nice Guys, the most recent project released by Iron Man 3 director Shane Black, is the story of the rugged hitman Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) and the ever-sleazy detective Holland March (Ryan Gosling).
The mismatched pair go looking for Amelia, a girl who’s gone missing after the adult film star, “Misty Mountains” dies due to mysterious circumstances. Gosling is first introduced with a hangover, lying in his bathtub, fully clothed with the words “you’ll never be happy again” written on his hand.
Meanwhile, our second hero is beating up a man caught fooling around with his client’s underage daughter. He then rides over to Gosling’s house and breaks his arm as a warning to stop looking for Amelia. Throughout the movie, this duo hit the road meeting, foul-mouthed kids, protestors, a hit man named john boy, and a 15-year-old girl. The tone of the movie is set immediately with the classic song “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” with a title card reminiscent of a neon sign from the 70’s. …show more content…
The movie has great comedic timing the streets are filled with blood, house fires and an indie film director named Sid.
The Nice Guys is a Myriad of colors set to drug induced rock and roll, which is why I give this film a solid four out of five
stars.
The movie only has a few issues, like a joke in the movie that’s only there for the finale and only onscreen for about two seconds, the villains are a bit typical, and some of the costumes are a little dumb though those are only seen in the Hugh Hefner house PARTY for about 5 seconds also nitpicking aside this is a great movie.
So come on down, take a seat, and enjoy this ride down the mean streets of L.A. with The Nice Guys.
