Critics Consensus

The Nice Guys hearkens back to the buddy comedies of a bygone era while adding something extra courtesy of a knowing script and the irresistible chemistry of its leads.

What's memorable about The Nice Guys is the crew of not-so-nice kids: the 12- through 18-year-olds who seem remarkably unbothered when bumping heads with coke-addled pornographers.

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are a good match in The Nice Guys. But writer-director Shane Black's screenplay seldom strikes fire.

Rated: 3/5

Midwest Film Journal

The ultimate wedding of Shane Black’s wily, aesthetically winsome & warm-hearted sides. In a story of discovering you can fight city hall (so to speak), its mantra is etched ON city hall: “He that violates its oath profanes the divinity of faith itself.”

Rated: 4/5

Elements of Madness

It’s a smart lesson hidden within an odd couple murder mystery and one worth remembering regardless of political affiliation, because oppression is oppression and either you’re a Nice Guy or you’re a bootlicker; can’t be both.

Black does some of his best visual work ever in “The Nice Guys.” It may be his masterpiece. He creates a pitch perfect period piece set in 1977 Los Angeles. The composition of every scene offers a reward to eagle-eyed viewers.

This is a stylish, 70s Los Angeles set thriller Noir with a wry sense of humour and some very talented actors but it just never gelled for me.

This movie makes you feel a certain way, by the end of the movie you’re in a good mood. Russel crow does an amazing job of being funny without trying to be funny, this is some of his best work.

Sucks there taking it off Netflix I could never get tired of Ryan Gosling. The 70's look of Los Angeles is amazing. My dad thought the wheezing joke was funny he recognized it from somewhere else. Amazing movie, amazing action, and amazing humor!
