Gangster Squad (2013)

This movie is about the hay day of the Gangster era when a group of LA cops team up to take down the ruthless boss Mickey Cohen. This is an action packed gangster movie. It has an all star cast but is not as good a movie as I had hoped. I give this movie a 3.5 out of 5.

Starring Sean Penn (Mystic River, 21 Grams) as Mickey Cohen, Holt McCallany (Fight Club, Three Kings) as Karl Lockwood, Josh Brolin (W., Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) as Sgt.
