    "Gangster Squad" which is loosely based on true life events takes us back to life in the late 40's after the end of WWII when people are just starting to put their interupted lives back together. The movie set in the "Hollywoodland" of yesteryear gives us a glamourous look into the nightlife and the not so glamourous world of criminals bent on controlling the underworld through gambling, drugs and prostitution. Sean Penn as Jewish gangster Mickey Cohen gives a great performance, one of his best. Although this movie is quite violent at times it is still worth seeing. A nice period piece with an eye for detail it takes us back in time to those black and white shootemup gangster movies of old.
