What critics compared The Big Fix to
It clearly recalls such 1970s fare as The Long Goodbye (1973)and Chinatown (1974), as well as such largely forgotten titles as Busting (1974) and 1978’s The Big Fix, which featured Richard Dreyfuss as a stoner private eye with a cast on his arm just like Gosling has here — something unlikely to be coincidental.
Black and co-writer Anthony Bagarozzi engineer a fusion of the ‘70s private eye picture (there are echoes of The Long Goodbye, Hickey & Boggs, and The Big Fix) and the ‘80s buddy movie (which Lethal Weapon screenwriter Black knows a little something about).
