Synopsis: Single father and licensed Private Investigator Holland March (Gosling) is hired to investigate the apparent suicide of famous porn star Misty Mountain. As the trail leads him to track down a girl named Amelia, he encounters less licensed and less hands-off private eye Jackson Healey (Crowe) and his brass knuckles, both hired by the young hippie. However, the situation takes a turn for the worse when Amelia vanishes and it becomes apparent that March wasn't the only party interested. Both men are forced to team upto find out the truth and saves their ass.
Review: The characters of both investigators are very different and it is already a nice start of the story to provide the conditions to make them work together. Then it is hilarious. The role of Crowe is more serious on the job, the nice guy with iron fist. While the role of Golsing is very surprising for him, not serious, unstable and funny. The daughter (Rice) is actually the boss of the group and this trio is so unlikely that it is hilarious. The humour is playing with the main characters and all the secondary ones that are all laughed at especially in the wrong moment. The acting of the two PI is good in the sense that they are in their roles, but Gosling's acting is more demanding with this complex role.  The atmosphere given to the movie is hesitating between a Californian sunny comedy and a bizarre mystery movie. This makes an interesting mix, thanks the acting.
