SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Shane Black’s earlier LA neo-noir has the same profane, fast-talking comic rhythm, shaggy investigation, and sparring partnership, balancing hard-boiled plotting with affection for its damaged characters.
02
Why this pick
Written by Shane Black, it shares The Nice Guys’ gleefully convoluted crime mechanics, sharp one-liners, escalating mayhem, and a mismatched duo forced into increasingly dangerous situations.
03
Why this pick
Its period-cool design, playful violence, and opposites-at-each-other’s-throats partnership offer a similarly breezy mix of stylish mystery-solving and deadpan comic timing.
04
Why this pick
Another sun-faded 1970s California detective odyssey, with a baffling case, eccentric supporting players, and an amused, melancholy sense that the investigation is always slipping sideways.
05
Why this pick
A gloriously rude odd-couple crime comedy: its mismatched law-enforcement pairing, dry verbal combat, and casually offbeat turns echo The Nice Guys’ pleasure in character chemistry over tidy procedure.
