Review of Gangster Squad (2013) by Lee G — 08 Feb 2014
Rarely has a film ostensibly based on a "true" story so flagrantly disregarded what actually happened but in this case the picture is so packed with raw star power and satisfyingly brutal action that it doesn't really matter.
The film's portrayal of how legendary LA gangster Mickey Cohen was taken down is about as inaccurate as Sean Penn's overblown performance but it sure should have happened this way.
