Gangster Squad
Directed by Ruben Fleischer
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen 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,… From TMDB

39 of 39 · most liked firstI have an idiosyncratic taste in films as well. Piranha 3D was my fav film of 2010 followed by The Town. I think Gangster Squad was one of the best films of its year. I love Domino by Tony Scott Even I think the recent list by the funky Italian who wants to shove his cock in toe jam is dogshit

neutral · AI labelView post →#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 2013. Set in post-war Los Angeles, GANGSTER SQUAD sees Josh Brolin lead an off-the-books team to take down gangster Mickey Cohen (Penn). Glitzy production & pulpy action, with a very stacked cast. #Filmsky #Actionsky

neutral · AI labelView post →For this Star Wars movie, I want Ryan Reynolds to just look, talk and act like Jerry Wooters, his character in Gangster Squad. And he just comes from a planet full of people the look and sound like they're from a 1940s hardboiled pulp magazine.

You’d never take Disney Dollars, never!” *Despairs on the floor in front of the printout of Japanese poster for Gangster Squad he has pinned to the wall of his work cubicle*

positive · AI labelView post →GANGSTER SQUAD feel like i just looked into a cop’s brain and saw his wet dream jesus christ i hated this movie a super cool cop decides to form a supercop boyband to take down the evil mafioso doing “whatever it takes” but it’s ok bc cops good so they can break rules (qrp)
negative · AI labelView post →Your seasonal reminder that the only true Christmas movie is that scene in GANGSTER SQUAD where Sean Penn (as 50's gangster Mickey Cohen) mows down a Christmas tree with a tommy gun
neutral · AI labelView post →Mafia The Old Country in the can. A solid story that follows the movie act structure. More Gangster Squad than the Godfather, it is still a compelling ride with very standard gameplay After putting a combined 694 hours in my last 3 games, it was nice to get this one done over a 48 hour period. B-

neutral · AI labelView post →Ruben Fleischer isn't a bad filmmaker per say, but he really has had a lousy hand picking film projects. I don't think anyone even remembers 30 Minutes or Less or Gangster Squad, except maybe remembering them nixing theater shooting scene in the latter after the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ruben Fleischer has managed to be able to be a director who outside the Zombieland films just churn out consistently mediocre content and still able to have a film career. More was known of the cut theater shooting scene of Gangster Squad than anything of the movie itself.
