Gangster Squad was a nice romp back to the days where detectives said funny lines, smoked indoors and held tommy guns. Here is a film that looks slick with a nice polish, a great ensemble cast and a story that has enough meat to it for us to chew on. Yet, people seem to be hating on it. Did they all expect another Untouchables? Sure, Gangster Squad has moments where the inspirations from past films peep through, but not once did this film try to be more than the sum of its means. Gangster Squad is a fun film, has thrilling moments and will entertain you.

Good movie, entertaining. Reminded me a bit of The Untouchables at times. Not a deep story though and you know almost any time what is going to happen next. But nicely filmed gunfights.

The worst thing in my opinion: Sean Penn. That was the worst attempt of a DeNiro impersonation if I ever saw one.

In points of 'Gangster Movies' nothing goes over Martin Scorsese [http://trakt.tv/person/martin-scorsese]
But this one ... this one is really good!!!

It's very much like "The Untouchables" [http://trakt.tv/movie/the-untouchables-1987]
but with better music & awesome slow-motions!

What can I say I love me some 50's - with all these wests, ties & hats ... hunting down the bad guys with some nice Tommy Gun action ;)
More please.

@benfranklin if you're saying you're a big fan of Martin Scorsese's gangster movies you can't say this one is really good please... it's a disrespect to compare them, this movie was so bad man, it's only about action, nothing else.

Someone told me this was one of the biggest disappointments they have had in theaters and to a point I do understand. It has a great cast and solid cinematography, but might lean a little more on spectacle than a well directed story. I would recommend everyone watch The Untouchables instead.

This was not a good film but it was bad in a vaguely entertaining fashion.
Hammy and full of cliche

Okay, actors, setting, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are seen with the chemistry that will be seen later in La Land
although maybe I expected too much from the movie

Despite the rich subject material, Gangster Squad delivers a rather mundane crime thriller. Inspired by a true story, the L.A. police chief appoints a special task force to take down local crime boss Mickey Cohen, who’s attempting to establish a mob presence on the West Coast. With an all-star cast that includes Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and Sean Penn, the performances are pretty good. But, the storytelling is weak and isn’t very compelling. However, the costumes and set designs give the film a remarkably authentic feel. Gangster Squad is more or less a stereotypical period crime film that has some impressive action sequences.

Es divertida y la violencia estilizada siempre me ha gustado, pero me decepcionó que no apareciera Dick Tracy. Emma se ve espectacular.
