Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling star as two low rent detectives in 1977 Los Angeles on the hunt for a missing woman named Amelia. This film was written and directed by Shane Black, the man who wrote Lethal Weapon and the Last Boy Scout.
This film isn't near as good as those two films. There was a lot of fun nostalgia as they tried to recreate the licentious feel of Hollywood in it's coke fueled hey day, but the story never clicks. It never got very funny. There was some nice action sequences. There was some weird nods to slapstick with one call to Lou Costello.
The Queen was right to give me the eye roll when I told her we would be watching this film.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
