June 01, 2013

This exhilarating and entertaining movie "Gangster Squad" is now breaking out of the shelves as fast as these cops breaking laws to save it.

“Gangster Squad” stars Josh Brolin (“Milk,” “True Grit”) and Ryan Gosling (“Half Nelson,” “Drive”), and Sean Penn (“Milk,” “Mystic River”) as Mickey Cohen.

The film also stars Nick Nolte (“Warrior,” “Affliction”), Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Peña, Robert Patrick and Mireille Enos. Screenplay written by Will Beall and is based on the book Gangster Squad by Paul Lieberman.

Was able to catch this movie in the movie theater and the story is about a war for Los Angeles. A stylish retelling of true events. It follows a team of cops as they band together to bring down a ruthless mob boss— by any means necessary.

Here's the synopsis

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians he has under his thumb. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop...except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart.
