Based on the trailer and the subject material, I assumed Gangster Squad would be a story driven mob movie. After noticing the sub 2 hour run time when ordering tickets, I realized it would be a lot more action driven.
Gangster Squad is a fun movie that overflows with testosterone. The plot is simple, predictable, and often cheesy. This movie exceeded the level of violence I was anticipating. That's not a bad thing.
Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, and Josh Brolin all give very respectable performances...especially when considering the script. The set designs are authentic retro.
For the record, Gangster Squad is a complete work of fiction. It in no way coincides with the life and times of the actual Mickey Cohen.
If you're looking for a quick shoot 'em up high and don't mind a predictable plot, Gangster Squad will definitely fit the bill.
If you like my reviews, add me as a fan. I'll add you back!

This movie was a gangster film gone wrong from start to finish. There was no set up to Cohen's life and his running of LA nor Brolin's character, both of which would have been vital to the development of the plot. The dialogue is a miix of cheesy fifties slang and intelligible screaming matches that make no sense. There is absolutely no way to follow the sequence of events in this film. I have fairly extensive knowledge of Mickey Cohen and his crime life and I could not keep up at all. The directing was horribly done, from the camera angles to the ridiculous machine gun violence (which overcompensated for lack of substance) and the writing gave the actors no room to succeed. I'm was extremely disappointed in this movie because it had all the potential with great actors and a riveting gangster story line that is unique from those before it, but the result was abysmal. I shudder to think what made Sean Penn, a respectable actor and director think that this should be in his filmography.

I went to this movie today and I had a great time there was laughing and interesting tidbits about the movie that I didn't know and I live in LA.
