The Nice Guys

Only 48 Hours Left To Watch This Epically Good Action Comedy On Netflix

That movie is The Nice Guys starring Ryan Gosling.

Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) become unlikely partners after a young woman, Amelia (Margaret Qualley), disappears. The two couldn’t be more different: March is a down-on-his-luck private eye and Healy is a hired enforcer who hurts people for money.

The film is refreshingly reminiscent of buddy comedies of a bygone era. The script is taut (yet unafraid to venture into utter lunacy) and the chemistry between Gosling and Crowe is top-notch, as they embark on a blood-splattering adventure with unphased nonchalance to the backdrop of 1970s LA.

It’s eccentric with a simple storyline — resting on its performers, clever dialogue, and a dose of disco aesthetics to capture a vibe akin to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. 

ONLY 48 HOURS LEFT: Before it leaves and you have to rent it on Amazon for money, give it a watch now. The show leaves Netflix April 1.
