the advance and then he&#8217;ll let the old lady down easy.\u00a0 That all changes when Jackson Healy (Crowe) puts a beating on March and tells him to drop the investigation.\u00a0 Rather than take another whoppin&#8217;, Healy agrees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Healy gets home, two thugs are waiting for him.\u00a0 They rough him up in an effort to get information about the Misty Mountain case.\u00a0 Fortunately he has nothing to give them.\u00a0 After the roughnecks split, Healy goes back to March and convinces him that they should team up to solve the case.\u00a0 Soon they&#8217;ll find that they&#8217;re way over their head with hired assassins and government officials wanting them dead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The Nice Guys<\/em> has it&#8217;s moments.\u00a0 Crowe and Gosling&#8217;s characters are mismatched enough that there&#8217;s humor and chemistry in them working as a team.\u00a0 Angourie Rice is excellent as Gosling&#8217;s young, but smart-beyond-her-years daughter.\u00a0 Basinger has a small but important role.\u00a0 The plot was a little more convoluted than needed, but that&#8217;s a small nit to pick.\u00a0 I&#8217;m surprised<em> The Nice Guys<\/em> didn&#8217;t warrant a sequel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i style=\"font-size: inherit;
