Pretty Good
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
This is not a great film but it's entertaining all the way through. Russell Crowe is great in this and the story of the two mismatched detectives getting thrown together on a case is much better than you would expect it to be. Love the seventies setting too.
One of the best, and most memorable films released in the paste few years. Outstanding performances from everyone, and spectacular writing and directing from Shane Black.
This abortion of a film represents everything that is awful about Hollywood today. Obviously directed by some 20-something, spoiled brat who thought that showing kids using four letter words and being sexual, would make this piece of crap "edgy." Well it doesn't. Pathetic jokes that flop, and desperate attempts to shock with pointless nudity, are what this film is all about. Supposedly set in the 70's it even fails at that; the movie looks patently 2016. It tries to be sexy and comes across as pathetic. I'm sure this one scored points at frat houses throughout America. As a fan of everything 70's, this movie made me kind of sick. Definitely the worst thing Gosling has ever attached himself too, and Russell Crowe's career remains firmly in the toilet with this one. The saddest thing is the high score this thing has; has the intelligence level of the masses really declined this much? So sad..
Some good laughs and wacky changes of fortune in this buddy comedy that works because Crowe and Gosling have good chemistry together. Sure there are way too many convenient coincidences in the plot and the ending goes a little over the top, but it was still fun and NOT another comic book movie, so give it a go.
