Movie Review : Gangster Squad 2013

Movie Review : Gangster Squad 2013 - Gangster Squad is a sensationalistic fantasy about how a clandestine unit of LAPD fuzz supposedly brought Mickey Cohen, California's baddest gangster, to his knees in the late '40s. Made up of synthetics rather than whole cloth, this lurid concoction superficially gets by thanks to a strong cast and jazzy period detail, but its cartoonish contrivances fail to convince and lack any of the depth, feeling or atmosphere of genre stand-bearers like L.A. Confidential. Warner Bros. should be able to shake down reasonable short-term business with this year-opening roll of the dice.


 

The Bottom Line

A fine cast in a cartoonish version of L.A. crime lore.

Cast

Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie

Director

Ruben Fleischer

Gangster Squad 2013, One of the film's biggest miscalculations is to have made Cohen an undiluted psychotic with no compensating charm or charisma. Most accounts of the real guy refer to how entertaining he was, how he catered to celebrities, journalists and politicians and was courted by them in return. Reportedly, he mostly kept his dark side hidden, whereas Penn, looking not unlike Dorian Gray's portrait, plays him exclusively as a raving homicidal maniac who might even have given the Nazi hierarchy pause.
