Why watch this film?
Within the genre of buddy comedies, one of the obligatory references is the action saga 'Lethal Weapon', which stands out beyond Richard Donner’s direction for Shane Black's script in the first three installments. Black eventually made his debut as a director in the same genre with the entertaining ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’, which repeats the formula of the mismatched pair wrapped up in a murder investigation. As one should not fix something that isn't broken, the director went back to the drawing board with 'The Nice Guys', which sees an awkward, failed, and cowardly detective (Ryan Gosling, in one of his best and most entertaining roles) collaborating with a tough and experienced thug (Russell Crowe) to solve the murder of an adult movie actress. The film, although slightly longer than necessary, is an incredibly fun journey from start to finish, with well-developed characters, hilarious performances, and solid direction from Black, who manages to inject new life into the genre.

From the same director
The Predator
Continuing the saga started in 1987, director Shane Black ('Kiss Kiss Bang Bang') brings a story set in present day with a team of soldiers tasked to recover an alien artifact that can help the Earth in future battles against the Predators. The film features well-known faces such as Boyd Holbrook (from 'Narcos'), Tevante Rhodes ('Moonlight'), Jacob Tremblay ('Wonder') and Olivia Munn ('The Newsroom'). Unfortunately, the movie brings a confusing story that doesn't know if it wants to be similar to the original production or to approach superhero movies. Watch it if you are a fan of the franchise, or if you want to see a series of bloody deaths with no sense or reason.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Filled with dark humor, 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' is a comedic satire of film noir directed by Shane Black. Featuring hilarious performances from Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. - in his pre-Iron Man days - it's one of those little-known gems that's well worth the time for a good laugh.
Iron Man 3
The story takes place right after the events of 'The Avengers'. Now, Tony Stark has to finally deal with the repercussions of his actions and limitations as a superhero, represented by the dead of the Battle of New York. The direction is by Shane Black ('Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'), who brings some of his characteristic to the franchise in a movie that, despite its dense subjects, manages to be entertaining and engaging. The villain is the Mandarin, classic antagonist of Iron Man in the comics - which here appears in a very different version, to not offend the important Chinese market. Highlight for the soundtrack signed by Brian Tyler (from the 'Fast & Furious' franchise), which is the musical highlight of the franchise.
