Currently on Netflix. The movie got nearly universal positive professional reviews and scored a 79% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This movie stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe as investigators of the disappearance of somebody named Amelia (Margaret Qualley).

It is very hard to care about anybody in this film as they all pretty much are terrible people. It is practically a farce parade and I kept waiting for someone to care about and any reason to care. Finally after about 60 minutes, I asked my spouse if he was getting into this at all. After about five more minutes he also was in the same space: enough is enough, turn it off.

I love this movie so damn much, but it's essentially a reworking of Shane Blacks earlier movie Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

You just sold me, Kiss Bang Bang is one of my all time favorites.

Love this movie, it's super fun, the protagonists' flaws are part of the charm

You're definitely not the only one. I was baffled by the good reviews considering how little enjoyment I got out of it. I even watched it twice, because it felt like if I disliked it that much I must be missing something big! I think the comedy just didn't land for me - not my type of humor - and without that there's not much to stay engaged with.
