If you’re a fan of Shane Black’s movies, especially
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lethal Weapon, and
The Last Boy Scout, his latest, The Nice
Guys, is exactly the movie you hoped for. It never deviates from the formula,
but it’s certainly Black doing what he does, as well as he’s ever done it. This
is the kind mismatched buddy action comedy that, every time one does roll
around, we collectively say, “Hollywood doesn’t make this kind of movie anymore.”
