Gangster Squad
(2013)Gangster Squad 2013
Los Angeles, 1949. Brooklyn-born, brutal mob boss Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this city, making dirty profits from drugs, guns, prostitution and—if things go his way—every big bets made in Chicago. Moreover, he does all this with the protection of not only his mercenaries, but also the police and politicians he holds in his hand. That's enough to intimidate even the bravest, toughest of cops…but perhaps a small, secretive group from outside the Los Angeles Police Department can make an exception. Led by Sergeant John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and Sergeant Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), this group has teamed up to try to destroy Cohen's world.
