Gangster Squad

Cartoonish, childish, cringingly immature writing. Otherwise good.

JANUARY 24 (2020)

I really like this movie. Good action, and Emma Stone never looked better!

Somebody in Hollywood must have paid to have this movie trashed. I've seen this 3 times now and I think it's a fantastic film. The people who say the script is bad have no idea what they're talking about. Every actor in this is fantastic. Josh Brolin is fantastic, Nick Nolte is great, Gosling and Stone and knockouts too. I also think Sean Penn is great as Micky Cohen. Really can't understand why so many people don't like this movie. This is more compact than L.A. Confidential and altogether a different type of beast. I suppose I agree that L.A. Confidential is an all-around better picture, but I love this movie as well and highly recommend it.

Like everyone was trying to make rent and filmed a dud.

I don't get the RT reviewers for panning this. It's a fun,entertaining, professionally done Hollywood movie

The cinematography was excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed the realness of the era!!

The trailer had a lot of rap music in it which does NOT exist in the film. The film really takes you back to Los Angeles 1949! It's a pretty great story with the exception of a couple predictable parts. If you like Mafia related stories or the Mafia games(Mafia, Mafia 2, Mafia 3) you will LOVE this. Ignore the bad ratings!! They're all idiots that don't know a good film when it's seen!!!!

The plot was good, wonderful actors, great period piece. It's a gangster movie and critics are upset there is shooting. I guess I should have watched a Hallmark Christmas movie..

The story was told better in "The Untouchables." The comic-book noir feel was done better in "Sin City." The over-the-top blood and gore was more fun in "Shoot 'Em Up." The costumes were better in "Roger Rabbit." And the characters had more depth, too. There's not a believable second on the screen, which could be okay if this were meant as a spoof. But though some of the situations and dialogue are so cliched they spoof themselves, it seems unintentional. A strong cast wasted on a doofusy project.
