Today we saw Gangster Squad about a special, under the table, squad of LA police whose purpose was to rid 1949 Los Angeles of the plague of Chicago mobster, Mickey Cohen. Cohen was ruthless in his pursuit of owning L.A. and controlling crime in the west.
It was a lot better than expected, probably due to the quality of the actors...Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling. Lots of shooting and blood, but a good story, too, based on a novel of the same name.
