The Nice Guys
Set in 1970s Los Angeles, this is a whimsical take on the traditional buddy-cop movie. A down-on-his-luck private eye and a hired enforcer must work together to solve the case of a missing girl and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star. During their investigation, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of power.
