'Gangster Squad' review: Soft-boiled
*1/2 (out of four) This true story of morally questionable, mid-20th century L.A. cops and their efforts to rid the city of organized crime and corruption contains so much intrigue, it’s a wonder no one’s done it before. Oops, they have....

Movie gangsters so bad they're good
One hundred and one years ago, D.W. Griffith gave us "The Musketeers of Pig Alley," often credited as the first gangster film, and once sound came in, nothing hooked movie audiences during the early 1930s more reliably than Edward G. Robinson or James...

'Gangster Squad' a fusillade of bullets and cliches ★★
A triumph of production design but a pretty dull kill-'em-up otherwise, the post-World War II-set "Gangster Squad" comes from the director of "Zombieland," Ruben Fleischer. It's clear Fleischer, who also made "30 Minutes or Less," hadn't worked through...

Fox defends 'The Following.' Hollywood unfriends Facebook.

'Gangster Squad' a stylish but shallow noir tale, critics say

John O'Mara (played by Josh Brolin) and his squad's crusade against the...Tags: L.A. Confidential (movie), Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone, Josh Brolin, Chinatown (movie)
