The Nice Guys

— Another throwback to the 70s, this time a slapstick buddy film with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe giving it their best. Unfortunately, while they have some chemistry and provide some entertainment, it falls well short of being at the top of its genre. It works as a summer diversion and it becomes more interesting once it settles in a groove about halfway through, but it’s still not really worth making much effort to see.
