Gangster Squad is set in (romaticized a bit, but cool nonetheless) 1949 Los Angeles. Gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) takes over the LA organized crime scene and tells the Chicago mob to fuck off. The LA police chief (Nick Nolte), fed up with with the way LA is changed by the mob and the corruption of his own department and city government, forms a secret hit squad from police officers to destroy Cohen. A romance between one of the cops and Cohen's girlfriend spices up the story.
I love old cars and the look of LA in its heyday, a good gangster shoot em up to boot. It was worth the ticket.
BTW, saw this in a new theater 5 minutes fom the house. Galaxie (a California theater chain I believe) opened this place going head to head with Alamo Drafthouse. The new theater has an IMAX, eat and drink served to your seat with full bar. They had push button electric recliner seats. They will give Drafthouse a run for their money.
