I’ve really been in need of a good gangster movie. This might be the one I’m looking for.
The trailer for THE GANGSTER SQUAD looks awesome. Sean Penn is my favorite kind of villain aside from Gary Oldman. Also, when was the T-1000 cast in this? I must have missed that one, but I am freaking excited to see him among this great group of actors.
You’ve really gotta see this trailer. Check it out below.
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 who are under his control. 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 Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart. “Gangster Squad” is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD’s efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.
