Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte

 

Gangster Squad is a stylish, action-packed crime drama inspired by true events, set in the gritty underworld of 1949 Los Angeles. As ruthless mob kingpin Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) tightens his iron grip on the city through bribery, violence, and fear, a secret task force of LAPD outsiders is assembled to bring him down.

 

Led by the hard-edged Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and the smooth-talking Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), the squad operates off the books, waging guerrilla war against organized crime with old-school grit and gunfire. Amid noir shadows, tommy guns, and smoky jazz clubs, Gangster Squad delivers a pulpy, high-octane throwback to classic gangster cinema with modern flair and a star-studded cast.
