Gangster Squad

A great start to 2013

Being a fan of the gangster genre i was only too pleased when i saw the trailer for this, expecially considering who was starring in it. Sean Penn who remains in my top 10 favorite actors of all time list, was phenemenal in his portrayal of real life gangster Mickey Cohen although i have to admit his makeup in the film seemed a little 'Dick Tracyish' his performance was awesome as usual. This film actually gets me quite excited for this year's round of films as last year i didnt put anything on the 'Best of 2012 list' till at least July when 'The Dark Knight Rises' was released. Gangster Squad comes out in January and smack dab it is number one already in 'The best of 2013 list' Like i said, a sign of good things to come i am hoping.

Tommyguns, 20's era, assortment of the coolest actors on the planet and violence all equal up to be one hell of a gangster flick thatcan gladly sit upon my shelve amongst the likes of Scarface, Goodfellas etc.
