Synopsis
Gangster Squad is a noir action-thriller that follows a group of officers that face off against a ruthless mobster with a firm grip over the city he operates in. Set in 1940s Los Angeles, mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the streets, from drugs and guns to prostitutes and gambling, with the help of corrupted police and politicians. It's up to a secretive splinter group of honorable LAPD officers led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling) to put an end to Cohen's reign.

Although I started watching Gangster Squad with moderate expectations, it turned out to be a thrilling and action-packed experience. The film doesn’t mainly focus on the usual car chases and shootouts associated with action films, but it creates a tense noir atmosphere with a menacing antagonist while blending the stylish vibe of 1940s Los Angeles that transported me back in time. However don't expect it to reach the level of classic gangster films.
