Film Preview: Gangster Squad

The film was originally set to be released at the end of this year in the UK, in the US it was slated for early September but in the wake of the Aurora Shootings at the cinema during The Dark Knight Rises they decided to delay the release due to the gun violence contained within the film, but mainly due to a scene that involves a shooting in a cinema. Gangster Squad features an ensemble cast including Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Giovanni Ribisi and Emma Stone.


It has an LA Confidential/ LA Noire feel due to the time period chosen and the subject matter of LAPD cops fighting against the East Coast mafia moving into their city. So expect stylish suits and hats galore.

Gangster Squad is released in the UK on 11th January and the trailer is embedded below:
