GANGSTER SQUAD TRAILER- Go back to 1949 Los Angeles in Ruben Fleischer‘s Gangster Squad. This action-packed trailer shows Gangster Sean Penn as he takes control of Los Angeles. But a group of cops (Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi and Anthony Mackie) have been given the task of shutting down the Gangsters by any means.
PLOT: Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and–if he has his way–every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart. “The Gangster Squad” is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD’s efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.
