Waiting for an amazing thriller to stream this weekend? Don’t worry, Netflix has got you. The streaming giant is popular for its classic film collection. While it occasionally filters films, it also has a reputation for the timely revival of some of the classics. And this time, Netflix has yet again gone big as the OTT streams a film starring Oscar-winning actors Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.

Exactly seven years from today, we got an action comedy film called The Nice Guys starring Crowe and Gosling as a detective duo. The film is set in the 1970s, so fans get to see both of these legends in a retro setting. Although the film was a bang on comedy, it was released on the same weekend as Neighbors 2. As the sequel of a hit film, people placed more trust in the latter, resulting in lower-than-expected business for The Nice Guys.

According to The Giant Freakin Robot, the film did good business, but it did not outcross its competitor, which was a blockbuster. Netflix has a knack for underrated classics and hence the platform decided to bring it seven years after its release.

The film is an interesting thriller starring these legends who are on a quest to find someone; but who is it?

All about this Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling starrer

It is a buddy crime comedy, displaying vibrant and gritty 1970s Los Angeles. The film revolves around the unlikely partnership between Holland March (a Ryan Gosling role that doesn’t get enough credits), a down-on-his-luck private investigator, and Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe), a no-nonsense enforcer. Their paths cross when they find themselves independently investigating the disappearance of Amelia (Margaret Qualley).

Amelia is a young woman caught up in a web of intrigue and corruption. As March and Healy dive deeper into the case, they unravel a complex conspiracy involving the adult entertainment industry, government officials, and dangerous hitmen. Along the way, they encounter eccentric characters, engage in hilarious banter, and face countless obstacles.

With its retro aesthetics and sharp writing, The Nice Guys combines thrilling action, clever humor, and a touch of noir. It creates an entertaining and engaging cinematic experience that keeps audiences hooked until the final twist. Iron Man 3 fame director Shane Black is the director of this film.
