The Nice Guys is a throwback to the cop dramas and mis-matched buddy movies of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Even though the comedic elements are front and centre, the story and characters still manage to tread into mystery/thriller territory, feeling very much like a much less series version of Chinatown. Yet still covering a serious subject hidden by unexpected comedic chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe plus the frequent porn connections to the case they’re working on. Releasing on UHD and Blu-ray, The Nice Guys gets the Second Sight Films treatment, after nearly 10 years since its initial release in 2016. This release feels like it was long overdue.
