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. "The 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.

Holy crap, Emma Stone is a lucky chick.

This looks like it could be amazing

Ruben Fleischer's got a long way to go before he amends for his recent sins (I'm talking about 30 Minutes or Less), but this film looks like the director is taking a hell of a step in the right direction. Beyond the fact that I pretty much idolize Ryan Gosling, Gangster Squad just looks like a phenomenally entertaining film with one hell of a cast. It'll be another evening well spent in the theatre come October...

I like the plot, and I hope the actors can deliver, considering the strong line-up that has been announced, I have full confidence.

A crime drama set in the 50's with my favorite actor Sean Penn and my second favorite actress Emma Stone. Ryan Gosling is also the actor I hate the most. This film was made just for me. Hopefully this will get some nominations especially for costume design.

Hopefully one of the movies of the year.
