Gangster Squad Free movie streaming

Gangster Squad Free movie streaming 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. -- (C) Warner Bros Release Date Gangster Squad Jan 11, 2013 Wide

Review For Gangster Squad
It might sound like a stretch, imagining Penn playing that intense, indiosyncratic a villain. But the lauded, veteran actor pulls a left hook, then a right, and after a wild bodyshot at the tail end of the film, you see the true mania behind his eyes. Ricardo Baca-Denver Post Director Ruben Fleischer and screenwriter Will Beall can't decide whether to make a spoof or a serious drama, so they wrongheadedly attempt both. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Gangster Squad" is a highly stylized, pulp-fiction period piece based on true events. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Despite a cast of gifted actors, lush 1940s production design and suave costumes, it's bereft of inspiration, plowing familiar terrain past the point of tedium to impatience. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Gangster Squad is to the great tradition of the Scarface genre what plastic is to cutlery - tiny, imitative, disposable. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Any resemblance to history here is restricted to some snazzy spectator shoes and cans of Schlitz beer. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The very jokey forthrightness of its title evokes a kind of disposable pop-art mash-up of The Untouchables and L.A. Confidential, but with the seriousness of an old Saturday morning serial. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness A better name for this rip-off of The Untouchables would've been The Unwatchables. Rick Kisonak-Film Threat There are so many factual errors that the movie comes across as little more than a cartoon, a pity because the Mickey Cohen era, told accurately, could make a terrific film. Tony Medley-Tolucan Times ... could have used more narrative and historical context to go with its evocative visual style. Instead, it's a story that feels timeless for the wrong reasons. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com ( ... ) a more watchable thriller than Michael Mann's Public Enemies (2009), with lots of Tommy guns blazing in the old fashioned way. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Naive, heavy-handed, handsomely designed ... Philip French-Observer [UK] Lovingly pulpy yet honest and sincere about its intent, there is plenty in Gangster Squad for fans of the gangster genre to enjoy. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy ... a maniacally arch fusion of 'Dick Tracy' and, yes, the classic buddy Western 'Magnificent Seven' ... Penn froths at the mouth so much he disappears beneath a mask of spittle. Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope The movie claims to be "based on a true story" but turns out to be as authentic as The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Sean Penn's performance alone makes the film worth seeing. Nick Nunziata-CHUD Viewers complaining about the cartoonish portrayal and wanting Curtis Hanson's Oscar winner again need to consider the source, and remember that - Paul Muni, anyone? - the former rules. Matthew Sorrento-Film International Mildly enjoyable... sadly forgettable. Matt Neal-The Standard Sean Penn's performance as Mickey Cohen will disturb you. Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum There is a certain level of shoot-'em-up entertainment value to the movie, but overall, it's a pretty forgettable ride. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures A fun breezy drama that's fun to watch but will easily be forgotten in six months. John Hanlon-Big Hollywood Fleischer's film goes rogue... Matt Patches-Hollywood.com This is a cast that, given the right material, could have made a film to rival The Untouchables. Rebecca Murray-About.com ... It's all surface level a backdrop for a big, dumb action movie that has more in common with "The Expendables" than "L.A. Confidential." Greg Maki-Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) Gangster Squad, I have seen The Untouchables and you, sir, are no Untouchables. But you may be the most violent episode of Dragnet ever. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Ryan Gosling is so good that he manages to rise above the limitations of the script. Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer
