“The Nice Guys” starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling: movie review – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Fies they look already, Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in polyester shirts and leather jackets. But fashion is not even her worst crime; while they are in “The Nice Guys” actually on the right side of the law -. its commitment to this in a bit more generous

Jackson Healy (Crowe) and Holland March (Gosling) is the dynamic unlikely duo, whose professional paths intersect by chance in LA seventies. Meeting and point of incidence is Goslings nasal bone, the Crowe demolished pretty early. The broken arm there on top now. So you could say that both have a difficult debut.

Really harmonious it is then not, because their bread Jobs follow the sleuths conflicting interests. March is a private detective; his job is to find people. Healy other hand does not even have a business card. He specializes in that people who want to remain undetected, guaranteed found by anyone. Especially not from windy private snoopers, try with the pants down to his knees in public restrooms their adversaries at bay.

Healy is in his methods are not exactly squeamish what March learn faster than he would like. March’s current job: a young girl in the booming porn industry from Los Angeles to locate. The job turns out to be extremely painful, because precisely Healy to prevent this.

Short mermaids surveys

It is not even certain that March will ever find the missing Amelia. His 13-year-old daughter Holly (Angourie Rice) holds her father as a detective ever for a total blank. And a good man anyway as dryly. Family, they can not choose.

The single March has therefore several problems at the neck, with Healy but then turns out to be the least. As its principal turn two killer start on him, close the indisposed both truce failure and determine together, in the case Amelia. The trail leads into the porn industry, but also to a group of eco-activists who protest for clean air and towards the end of the world.

That related porn and environmental protection indirectly, is one of those punch lines to which director Shane Black, who also wrote the screenplay with Anthony Bagarozzi probably imagines much. The motto “Fucking for Nature” is taken very seriously indeed in “The Nice Guys”. So seriously it just goes into a film in which the private eye on a porn party by saying that he would shortly ask the Mermaids, dives in the swimming pool.

Sometimes reminds conducting intrusive drug geschwängerte to Paul Thomas Anderson’s Hippie noir farce “Inherent Vice”, in the seventies still looked like collateral damage from the fading flower power era. In “The Nice Guys” the decade already goes into the hedonistic disco phase – at a party playing Earth, Wind & Fire “September”, at the cinema “Jaws 2″. The psychedelic effects thus limited to wide shirt collar and biting color combinations. Apart Blacks humor is decidedly more solid than the Andersons, he focuses more on the solid primary care of his fans.

The chemistry between Gosling and Crowe

buddy movie formula of “The Nice Guys” has Black as a screenwriter ( “Lethal Weapon”) and director ( “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”) a certain sense, co-invented and developed. However, the kumpelige, places arg homeboy-humor is always sympathetic openings – especially in Goslings character wearing their Lädierungen well to remember Jack Nicholson in “Chinatown” and thus embodies the pocket version of the film noir heroes

. March that himself by his daughter still can buy the cutting, is a nasty little Pointe that Gosling can weglächeln like no other Hollywood star nonchalant. The little one is ever discovering the film: Angourie Rice plays Holly simply times without the usual precocious girl sayings and “Damsel in Distress” syndrome and steals already so in the best scenes of the film the adult show. however

Like many costume films suffers “The Nice Guys” including that the director relies solely on its leading actor. The chemistry between Crowe and Gosling keeps the tangled history together makeshift. But to look for a deeper meaning in the plot of “The Nice Guys”, is so vain about how the 13-year-old daughter to maneuver through the party a porn producer and simultaneously divert their attention from the many scantily clad women. Naturally March fails.

In the opening sequence Shane Black draped a naked starlet on the hood of her wrecked sports car. Porn and cars. As I said: No film of subtle shades
