The Nice Guys (2016)

I don't know what was wrong with us in 2016 when we originally saw this in the theater, but this time around it was a hit. Gosling and Crowe are a fantastic duo, so maybe it was a case of dialogue being missed due to audience reactions? I really have no idea. 

Though I still think it's unusual to have brutality and  hilarity sharing scenes, this time I was much more receptive to it and even appreciated it. Rather than having the fun spoiled by blood, the violence was mitigated by comedy.
