Gangster Squad (2013) Review by jarryds from Australia
Originally intended for release in September of 2012, Gangster Squadhas belatedly hit theatres this week. The film follows the story of LAcrime boss Mickey Cohen and a group of off-the-book beat cops to bringhim down. "Based" on a true story (What movie isn't these days?) thefilm and its fantastic cast promise much but come across as bland andboring.
Set in Los Angeles in the 50's, Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) is a crimelord who has taken over and there seems to be nobody who can stop him.The few good cops are outnumbered by the cops Cohen has bought and itseems all hope is lost. But Police Chief Nick Nolte decides somethingneeds to be done and assigns good, hard cop Josh Brolin to put togethera team to go after Cohen. What follows is the assembling of a team ofnot-so- perfect cops and the war they wage on Cohen's empire.
Sound familiar? That's because we've all already seen this movie, onlydone much better. You can tick the cliché's off as you Streaming. Good copbeing grilled by his dirty cop superior? Check. Older tougher cop andhis young protégé? Check. Evil henchman of the chief bad guy? Check.The list could go on but would approach spoiler territory. The climaxof the film is somewhat predictable about half way through. You canforesee almost all of the events that will play out in the last 20minutes and while it's enjoyable enough, it's nothing you haven't seenbefore.
The cast is a who's who list of names. Which makes the film all themore disappointing. With names like Brolin, Gosling, Penn and Stonethey should blow you away. But the characters are nothing more thancaricatures and nobody gets the chance to portray any real depth, withthe possible exception of Giovanni Ribsi. Sean Penn looks bizarre in amountain of makeup, although it matches his completely over the topperformance. Ryan Gosling turns in a nicely subtle performance, butmost of the rest of the cast are stuck in cardboard cut out roles withindividual stories set on railway tracks. We all know where they'regoing to go, we just have to wait for them to get there.
Also worth mentioning in the reason for the delay in the film'srelease. Originally the film was to be released in September 2012, butthen the Aurora shooting took place. At that time one of the key setpieces of the film was a scene in which the characters shoot at peoplefrom behind a movie screen in a theatre. Realising how disastrouslythat would be received in the wake of Aurora, the studio immediatelysuspended promotion for the film and set about reworking that scene.The cast re- assembled in August to reshoot the sequence, now takingplace in Chinatown.
Something I liked: Robert Patrick's performance as the grizzled oldergunslinger. As a Terminator 2 fan it was great to see him still takingout people almost at will.
Something I didn't like: The predictable climax. At the 60 minute markI mentally made a list of things I thought would happen in the last 20or so minutes of the film. Of my list of about 6 things, 5 of themhappened exactly as I predicted.
Something that bugged me: The scenes with Josh Brolin and Nick Nolteseemed to be shot out of focus. It was particularly noticeable in theshots of Nolte. For a film with a budget of $75M, this just shouldn'thappen.
Summary: Ultimately Gangster Squad is an enjoyable enough 100 minutesbut isn't anything significant. There's no great performances, nospectacular set pieces nor any big moments that you'll go home talkingabout. For the ladies there's an ample amount of eye candy in the formof a suited and fedora-d Ryan Gosling, and for the gentlemen there'sEmma Stone and a no-nonsense Robert Patrick. But the story fails toever really leap off the page and become something. We're told MickeyCohen is bad, but he's never anything more than "that bad guy". Wedon't hate him, we don't sympathise with him or desperately want him tobe taken down. He's just "the bad guy". The same can be said for all ofthe characters, and the story as a whole. Which makes it on the whole,ultimately forgettable.
Gangster Squad (2013) Review by David Ferguson (fergusontx@gmail.com) from Dallas, Texas
Greetings again from the darkness. Admittedly, I am one of those whotake movies very seriously. Good movies make me happy (even the sadones), and bad movies make me sulk. Every now and then, one comes alongthat I find myself enjoying despite the warning buzzers blasting in myfilm snob brain. Such is the latest from director Ruben Fleisher (whoalso directed the entertaining Zombieland).
"Inspired by true events" should always be interpreted as a disclaimerthat the movie will play fast and loose with history and the details ofthe story. Sean Penn plays Mickey Cohen, a renowned Los Angelesgangster from the late 40's. Due to widespread police corruption,Police Chief Parker (Nick Nolte) authorized an "off the books" team totake down mob operations (gambling, prostitution, etc). This much wasdocumented in Paul Lieberman's book. How this story is presented byFleisher and screenwriter Will Beall (signed on for the Justice Leaguemovie) has more in common with a comic book than actual history.
The movie is extremely beautiful to look at. It's slick and stylishwith a glamorous color palette, and the production design is top notch- capturing the look and feel of a booming Los Angeles. If you areexpecting the next "L.A. Confidential" or even "The Untouchables", youwill be disappointed. It's more in line with "Dick Tracy", "Scarface",and "Hoffa". In other words ... it looks great and the action,characters and dialogue are all way over the top.
The cast is superb, but most are underutilized. Josh Brolin is thetough leader of the squad that features Ryan Gosling (the token coolwomanizer), Robert Patrick (the token dead-eye gunslinger), AnthonyMackie (the innercity, knife-wielding token black cop), Giovanni Ribisi(the token geeky electronics expert), and Michael Pena (the rookie andtoken Hispanic cop). Unfortunately, my crude descriptions are justabout as in-depth as the movie goes with any of them. In fact, YvetteTucker playing Carmen Miranda, gets almost as much screen time as anyof these cops as she sings "Chica Chica Boom Chic".
The violence is cartoonish in its fervor. The aim of these gangsters isamong the worst in movie history, and that's quite an accomplishment.Using Tommy Guns and pistols, my estimate is that one in every 167shots actually hits an intended target. Many elaborate set pieces aredestroyed in the process. The exception is Robert Patrick's character,who is actually featured in a detective serial. He never misses ...even after being wounded. Penn plays Cohen as a ruthless mob boss,unwilling to accept any failure from his crew. And you know what thatmeans. No pink slips here ... just ugly death via power drill, burningelevator or classic car tug-of-war.
An interesting note is the presence of three actors from recent cult TVshows. Holt McCallany (Lights Out), Mireille Enos (The Killing) andTroy Garity (Boss) all have key roles in the film, as does Jon Polito,whose face and voice make him a must-cast in any gangster film.
If you are able to turn off the logical and reasoning part of yourbrain ... just sit back and enjoy Emma Stone smoking a cig whilewearing a red evening gown, an understated Ryan Gosling with an oddspeech pattern, Sean Penn wearing a prosthetic nose and spewinghilarious bad guy lines, and the creepy feeling that Josh Brolin isjust 25 years away from looking and sounding exactly like Nick Nolte... then hopefully you can take this one for what it is - a guiltypleasure. www.MovieReviewsFromTheDark.wordpress.com
Gangster Squad (2013) Review by mdspittl from United States
I saw a screening of Gangster Squad last night and to say the least, Iwas unimpressed. I had decent expectations for the film with a stoutcast the likes of Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling along with adirector whose last two films I enjoyed (Zombieland and 30 Mins orLess). So what went wrong? Like the summary says it was incrediblycliché of every gangster movie out there and tried so hard to be likeLA Confidential and the Untouchables. While this movie would have donemuch better in the 90's I don't feel it fits in this generation offilm.
You have Sean Penn as Mickey Cohen who decides he wants to be the kingof Los Angeles and he will take out whoever is in his way. Nick Nolteplays the police chief who is tired of the way LA is going and recruitshard nosed, do-as-I-please Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) to create acrack team to take Cohen down. From there you have the obligatoryround-up-the team where he gets the bi-focal smart guy, thepast-his-prime outlaw and side kick, the token black guy, and the copwho doesn't want to join at first but is thrust into the fray.
You then have a typical hunt down the bad guy, have a couple of shootouts where an incredible amount of bullets fly and no one gets touched,and a very flat romance where you wonder why these two are together forno other reason than they are really good looking. There were alsomoments in the climax of the movie where the audience burst out inlaughter and I feel that it was incredibly unwarranted.
The only real redeeming quality was Sean Penn who gave an intense,powerful performance as Mickey Cohen. All in all I was disappointed inGangster Squad and feel like the entire movie brought nothing new tothe table of the gangster genre.
