Ryan Gosling Got some recently deserved props for his comic til work in 2023 BarbeBut the dead fans of the actor know that he has excelled in comedy for years. Just look at his impressive work in Crazy, stupid, love. or one of his many obstacles invited Saturday evening live. The guy can hit a joke like no one else.
But nothing is compared to his great performance as the unable private detective Dutch marches in the film subjected to criminally, Beautiful boys. The Buddy-designation was a flop when it was released in 2016, but has since gained a pious cult. It deserves it as the film is an exciting and ridiculous equal part, with a caste that truly brings it and an end that begs for a continuation.
Beautiful boys It is leaving Netflix soon, and here are just some of the many reasons why you should control it.
What is the ‘beautiful boys’?

Is Los Angeles Circa 1977, and a porn star called Misty Mountains (Murielle Telio) is killed in Hollywood Hills. Holland is employed by the woman’s aunt to find out who killed her. He runs at Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe), a brut employed by Amelia (Margaret Qualley) to protect it from interrogation from the Netherlands. Amelia holds the key to resolving Misty’s death, and soon, the two men teams to solve the mystery of Misty’s murder.
Their searching leads them to a private party to a residence full of shady characters, a tracking of cars on the highway that almost kills them, and a confrontation in an automatic show that includes some shots and a dangerous diving from a skyscraper. In the midst of all this chaos, Holland finds the time to get his pre-adolescent daughter in an alley of a birthday game and Bond with Jackson on beers in a planted bar.
There is much more for Beautiful boysAs an explosive film everyone wants to watch or destroy, a dark secret mother of Amelia Judith (Kim Basinger) is also erased by the premature end of someone named Blueface, but one of the strengths of the film is experiencing all the zigs and zago of the plot without any spoiler. The plot is dense, but it is never difficult to follow. It is clear who did what and why.
‘The nice guys’ functions as an action film and a comedy

Warner Bros.It is difficult to attract an effective action film and a comedy yourself, but making a successful mix of both is almost impossible. But as Stting AND Deadly weapon In front of it, Beautiful boys It attracts it with ingenuity and style.
This is mainly because of the writer-recorder Black shanewhich specializes in this kind of thing. He wrote the first Deadly weaponand he was also behind Boy Scout Last AND Kiss kiss kiss bang bang. He knows how far you have to take action and how much comedy you can get involved in all shots and car clashes without exaggerating either.
Helps that action on Beautiful boys is without a doubt cartoon; No one can survive violent encounters that both men often get in, and this allows enough space for Gosling and Crowe to hit a joke or two. Black finds a delicate balance between seriousness (Holland really cares for his daughter) and Zanness (the end sequence is just directly Looney Tunes), and all in caste are at the same wavelength.
Chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe cannot be beaten

Warner Bros.What does Beautiful boys After all, the work is Gosling and Crowe, who develop a strange chemistry that is right for the material they are working with. Gosling’s Netherlands is a loser – he can’t even break a glass window without cheating and cutting himself, making it bleed all over the place where he is thought to penetrate. But he is also a devoted father who punishes his daughter for not using the right English.
The end of March brings a spring season in full bloom and the movie theaters are still playing such films such as Snow White. Of course, you can read a book or make your taxes, but why deny yourself the pleasure of watching a good movie or two? This weekend, what to look at recommends an underestimated Ryan (…)
That is that sudden quality of the Netherlands that makes the Crowe’s bruiser help it, which makes both men connect when they are not avoiding punches and switchblades. The film plays in the strengths of both actors: Crowe is Gruff and Macho while Gosling is sweet and silly. Both characters complement each other, and so do the actors who play them.

A fast node should be given to excellent film evocation for a special time and place that is not usually seen in modern films. Los Angeles in the late 1970s is not given much in the spotlight nowadays, and part of the appeal Beautiful boys It is to see it so faithfully recreated.
Sunny Paradise in California you will expect is on the contrary a hell full of smog full of tract shelter, seed bars and delightful hotel rooms. Even the palaces have a faded glow for them – it’s like someone to put a layer of dirt on everything that makes sense given the themes of the broad corruption film.
In this environment that Holland and Jackson feel good at home. With their faded Hawaii shirts, polyester pants and unforgettable facial hair, Crowe characters are many men of their moment, and their special images match their memorable personalities.
