With the classic 90s blockbuster being ever so slightly moved aside for the more bombastic, stylised, heavy on the CGI and with a much bigger emphasis on technology version of the blockbuster. Computers, hacking and cyber crimes were becoming more popular themes and almost all had a touch of The Matrix about them.

The Nice Guys is a throwback to the cop dramas and mismatched buddy movies of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Even though the comedic elements are front and centre, the story and characters still manage to tread into mystery/thriller territory, making it feel very much like a much less serious version of Chinatown. Yet it still covers serious subject, hidden by unexpected comedic chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe plus the frequent porn connections to the case they're working on.

Although Drop has a very enticing hook, there is more bubbling beneath the surface of our heroine. What begins as a somewhat simple plot, that could very easily be slid into the ‘dumb premise' category, gradually becomes an edge-of-your-seat thriller with an actual three-dimensional character. The technology used in the film does play a major part and follows along the trend of other recent horror-esque thrillers.

It may feel like there hasn't been a challenger to Disney/Pixar for a long time, but in fact, the house of mouse has missed out at the Oscars for ‘Best Animated Film' for the last three years. Not only is this refreshing but it shows that more animated films are finally able to make an impression and break through to audiences.
