The first trailer for Gangster Squad has finally been released and I for one believe that it’s been faaaar too long since we’ve seen a good Gangster movie around here. This one has all the makings of greatness with a stellar cast including Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, and a helluva lot more. Let’s watch this trailer and let me know what you guys think.
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.
