The Nice Guys is the best movie I’ve seen in years.
NBC WOULD HAVE COVERED FOR HIM...
Careful around that 3rd rail of sex offenders being held responsible for their crimes for eternity, even after they have paid their judge ordered punishment to the state and made all restitutions put on them.
Murders are forgiven, paroled and given second chances in society. Get put on the sex offenders list and you are punished for life.
