![]() The Nice Guys Blu-ray Review Boogie Knights Reviewed by, August 22, 2016 There's not much 'nice' about either of the two sad sacks who find themselves thrown together in The Nice Guys. Writer/director Shane Black specializes in mismatched pairings whose feuds are at least as entertaining as whatever mystery they're trying to solve. As a writer, he gave us the suicidal Riggs and the retirement-conflicted Murtagh, whose partnership proved so popular that the franchise survived even Black's own attempt to end it after the second film. He followed up by teaming Bruce Willis' dysfunctional private eye with Damon Wayons' disgraced football star in, and Geena Davis' soccer mom-cum-sleeper agent with Samuel L. Jackson's feckless shamus in. ![]() In Black's 2005 directorial debut,, he combined Val Kilmer and Robert Downey, Jr., in a deft parody of his own buddy formula (not to mention the cliches of the modern action film that he helped to create), but the film sputtered at the box office, garnering a belated fan base on home video. The Nice Guys also disappointed in theaters, but I suspect it too will enjoy a healthy afterlife, as a larger audience tunes into its goofy vibe. The year is 1977. Newspapers issue regular warnings of the imminent arrival of 'killer bees' from South America. The now-defunct Tower Records is a thriving chain. Filling up your gas tank means waiting in line for hours because of rationing (an anachronism, to be sure, but true to the period). The City of Angels is choking on smog, with daily alerts warning citizens to limit their outdoor activities. As if the air quality weren't already bad enough, cigarette smoking remains rampant and unrestricted to designated areas. Polyester clothing and neon-bright decor are standard issue. The sounds of funk and disco fill the airwaves. Amazon.com: A Good Day to Die Hard (Blu-ray / DVD + Digital Copy): Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, John Moore: Movies & TV.
