Great film where cops become gangsters
2 August 2013
Gangster Squad was based around true events and was portrayed from the angle of a group of police officers who are intent on taking down the notorious gangster Mickey Cohen. I really loved the era of this film and the attire and whole setting that comes with it.

The cast include some well known actors and for me they all played their parts well and contributed to making this film great in their own ways. The characters all had varying interesting aspects about them to endear them to the audience, notably Ryan Gosling and his love interest with the gangster's lady friend Emma Stone brings an exciting element to the film.

There were a lot of fantastic action scenes and shooting in abundance as can be expected from a gangster film. The way the action scenes were frequent throughout made it gripping and built up to the end of the film in a great way. Overall I thought this was a great action gangster film which doesn't deserve the negativity it got.
