Review of Gangster Squad (2013) by Dawdlingpoet — 25 Nov 2021

This is a slick, stylish and fast paced film, with some good effects (mainly the explosions). Sean Penns performance is particularly memorable, as the highly strung, alpha male Mickey Cohen. It does contain a number of stereotypes/cliches of mob type films and I got a bit confused by some aspects of the plot but then its an easy enough film just to sit back and watch, without needing to pay attention to the fine detail overall really.
