Movie review - Gangster Squad

Gangster Squad

Director: Ruben Fleischer

Actors: Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

My guess: 5,4? - 2018? (6,7 - 2013)

My Points: 5,3 - 3-/5

Well, this was a shitty movie... There were a lot of stars - most of them mediocre, but still this one managed to suck badly! I aint even gonna mention all of them, just the biggest/interesting (in this movie) stars.

So, there were Josh "Sgt. John O'Mara" Brolin, Sean "Mickey Cohen" Penn, Ryan "Sgt. Jerry Wooters" Gosling and Emma "Grace Faraday" Stone. So, a lot of stars - including the 'smaller' stars, but that doesn't mean anything. At least in shitty movies like this...

And then I also gotta mention Nick "Chief Parker" Nolte, I liked/like him.

The movies plot were interesting, to 'destroy' Cohen - by 'dirty' cops. But - sadly, this didn't succeed (in being a good movie)!

John O'Mara wifes reaction were good, when she clarifyd what shes husband is doing. And the she helped him choose the 'bad' cops, nice!

I liked Jerry Wooters and Grace Faradays relationship. Mickey would have killed Jerry, if he had found out them. Jerry; "who? Mickey Mouse", that was funny!

The casino "trying" heist was ridiculous! Not that they tried it, but nobody didn't hit (with guns) anything?! I understand, that the good guys missed deliberately (didnt't want to kill innocent cops), but how the hell about ten cops didn't hit anything (except couple of bullets in the cars)?! Ridiculous...

Same thing, when there were a car chase. Bad guys blasting of with machine guns, but don't hit anything (except - yet again, couple of holes in the windscreen)?! Yawn...

Jail break was kinda funny. At least when they tried to pull the cage barred out with a car, and blew it... Well, the whole movie is a 'blew'!

The slowmo machine gun shooting was nice, shit getting nicely destroyed!

So, this movie had something good - but overall pretty shitty movie. I don't recommend this one, except if you are a huge mafia fan. Or there are lot of you favorite actors in this one. But if not, avoid this travesty...
