The ‘Gangster Squad’ International Trailer Is Here  It's almost
a proven fact that during times of recession people turn to
nostalgia for comfort to take their minds off the troubles of
today. Just take one look at shows like Boardwalk Empire, a
Prohibition-era drama on HBO, or AMC's misogynistic '60s-era Mad
Men and you'll see why we love taking strolls down memory lane
when things get tough. Ryan Gosling's Gangster Squad is a movie
that similarly harks back to a time none of us were probably
alive for—a time of guns, gangsters and prostitutes. I mean, we
still have that stuff today, but you get the point. Based on
real life events set in 1949 Los Angeles, two hardened LAPD
sergeants (Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling) assemble a crew of cops
with enough balls to take down notorious mob kingpin Mickey
Cohen (Sean Penn). We love anything gangster-related because
we're the G'est of dudes who write about clothes on the Internet
(kinda like being the most jacked kid at fat camp) so this film
looks pretty killer to us
