Gangster Squad

The postwar period is perhaps the most interesting period of history in America, so any film with this setting automatically catches my attention. Thus to me, the setting of Gangster Squad is intriguing and it doesn't disappoint with the music and sets. Mickey Cohen , arguably the most notorious character in LA history is played magnificently by Sean Penn. However the movie is built on a script that lacks emotional attachment. While it attempts to accomplish this with the death of squad members, it fails to establish a bond between the audience and the character to make the attempt successful. The editing, particularly at the beginning is also unnatural that takes credit away from the movie. At the end of the day, it's the story that should be the gist of any movie, and Gangster Squad needs a better one.

The screenwriter should be directly pulled out! You think it's not worth the effort to adapt it based on a true story, right?

At first glance, it really looks a bit like a domestic spy war and bandit suppression drama, especially the portrayal of female characters and the plot of deliberately framed after the discovery of the bug, it is easy to find resonance points, probably the main theme movies in the world are similar. The way to form a secret organization to recruit talents from all sides is "Mission Impossible", and the director also tried to push some fighting scenes to the "Inglourious Basterds" feeling of Quentin's school, but often he didn't know what to do...
