“Gangster Squad” Delivers on All Fronts [VIDEO]

The story of the 1920's gangster is one we all no to well. HBO's Boardwalk Empire and the release of "Lawless" has given us an inside peek into the time of prohabition in America and the birth of the American Gangster. "Gangster Squad" hits theaters and delivers what the trailer promises.

Josh Brolin leads a LAPD task force who go undercover to take down a mobster in 1949. Nick Nolte plays the police chief who taps him to form the secret squad, Ryan Gosling is Brolin's right-hand man, and Sean Penn is the mob boss. Anthony Mackie, Robert Patrick, Giovanni Ribisi, and Michael Pena round out the rest of the squad. Emma Stone is damn sexy as Sean Penn's girlfriend she eventually hooks up with Ryan Gosling's character.

"Gangster Squad" was originally supposed to come out in September.  But Warner Brothers decided to push the release date back out of respect for the victims of the "Dark Knight Rises"theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

--That's because there was a scene in this movie where the mob shoots up the audience at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. That scene has been cut though.
