What happens

The Nice Guys is a 2016 American neo-noir buddy action comedy film directed by Shane Black, who co-wrote the screenplay with Anthony Bagarozzi, produced by Joel Silver, and starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in the title roles, with Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Keith David, and Kim Basinger appearing in supporting roles. Set in 1970s Los Angeles, the film focuses on private eye Holland March (Gosling) and enforcer for hire Jackson Healy (Crowe) who team up to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl (Qualley). The Nice Guys premiered on May 10, 2016, in Hollywood, screened on May 15 at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on May 20, 2016, receiving positive reviews from critics for its humor, mystery, and the performances of Crowe and Gosling but it flopped at the box office as it grossed $63 million on a $50 million budget. The film has gained a cult following especially for Gosling and Crowe's chemistry and comedy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
