Under
the direction of Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”), “Gangster Squad” is a colorful
retelling of 1949 events surrounding the LAPD’s efforts to take back their
nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.
Ruthless,
Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (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 (Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Gosling),
who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
Emma
Stone plays Grace Faraday, Cohen’s moll and the object of Wooters’ attention.
Opening
across the Philippines on Jan. 23, 2013, “Gangster Squad” is distributed by
Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
