0 stars for rent only Update: you can now buy on GPlay. Still not a classic gangster movie. Sean Penn is weak. Brolin should've been the lead, or anyone other than Penn. Historically inaccurate. Wikipedia Mickey & you'll see...Alcatraz... Sean Penn is whack, but this movie is pretty good even though it's slightly inaccurate. Brolin is awesome. You can purchase it on Amazon.

Awesome People who rate this movie less than 3 stars and say it "sucked" must have something wrong with them. This is a great movie from start to finish, the action was there and it was different from the original type gangster movie. Sean Penn played an awesome role as the bad guy, mad props. It was nice to see Ryan Gosling play a role with more than 3 lines, cough cough *Drive.* I am unsure of how people rate movies but, this is an A+ in my book. If you think this movie sucks, chances are you probably suck.

Don't waste the finger tap to buy this movie Pure awful. Just so bad its unspeakable... Well not as bas as inglorious basterds but... Bad.

High expectations, but disappointed Flow of this movie seemed off. Seems like they didn't spend enough time developing what they were doing to all of the members of the squad questioning how ethical they were being. High potential, but I think this was a miss.

Pretty much "the untouchables" The only thing that save it are the fact that this film never takes it self to serious and it move at a nice pace and never stalls plus Sean Penn as a ganster is fun to watch.

Beautiful My boyfriend really liked this movie. He enjoys violence. And pugs. Dennis lives in Indian Valley. And he has many monks there to accompany his loneliness. Dumb nugget

Gangster Squad isn't exactly awful. If you're familiar with Brian De Palma's The Untouchables, however, Gangster Squad basically comes off as not only inferior, but also a bit of a ripoff.

Mixed Bag Massive overacting and scenery chewing. But gorgeously shot and great looking. Too bad the script and director weren't as good as the cinematographer.

Great film with an All Star Cast! There was never a dull Moment! This review might be a little biased because I am a Sean Penn fanatic. I gave it 4 stars because it was a little "cliché" if you know what I mean.

Disappointed, but not entirely This movie was subpar. Not surprising after the less than inspiring trailer I saw last year. If you're looking for a gangster movie with a great cast I'd recommend seeing it...once is enough.

A badly directed movie with a predictable story made watching this movie an absolute drag I found myself disconnected from the movie from the very beginning. I didn't care what happened to the characters and was waiting for it to end so I could leave the theater. A truly dreadful movie that left me disappointed.

Not good at any point This movie wants to be like The Untouchables, but it won't be, it can't be. There isn't much of a story, the characters are all flat and not developed, nothing there to pull you in or keep you entertained.

Wasn't Wow'd I was hoping for a lot more but instead it just felt like a bad Dick Tracy remake. Rent if there is seriously nothing else.

Better than expected Underdeveloped characters and an unoriginal plot, yes, but very enjoyable..and Emma Stone. The set design was terrific--probably Oscar-worthy. And did I mention Emma Stone?

Mediocre Okay action flick. Nothing terrible but nothing remarkable neither.

its was ok just ok nothing special. too focused on style. nowhere near as good as "the untouchables", which it was obviously paying homage too. entertaining but forgettable.

Great Movie Movie was very enjoyable. I don't understand why it received so many bad reviews. I feel the acting was wonderful as well as the cast, costumes etc.

Overall a great movie! There were the occasional silly special effects, and some of the good ole unrealistic movie additives, but it was overall entertaining and gangsterlicious.

Not Your Average Gangster Movie I had kind of grown tired of the same old gangster films, which I figured Gangster Squad would be, but it was a really refreshing, cool take on the genre. I loved it!

Above Average Predictable near the end

Loved it About time they made a good mob movie again. Almost reminds you of this generation's Untouchables, Penn, Brolin, Gosling and Stone are excellent. I don't see why people don't like it, if you're a mob movie fan then So yourself a favor and watch this movie

Its the Untouchables modernized The Untouchables is a movie based on a true story thay has the same exacy story as Gangster Squad except without Sean Connery I think Untouchables beats this hands down

Great Love this movie, I thought it was gonna be dumb but its cool. A bit sad tho

Miss the old gangster movies, they did good here.

Great neo noir If you are a fan of neo noir style films, you're likely to love this one. Reminiscent of LA Confidential and The Untouchables, this movie has a good story and inviting characters. It doesn't follow history much but that's the problem with a period piece.

Doesn't let me watch it The movie only plays for a minute then it starts all over

Sad man I wish that I could of bought the movie it was one of my favorites

Good one! I didnt hear much about this movie and was definitely notnlooking forward to watching it.....BUT I have to say it turned out to be a good movie!

Sean penn again Why do they put sean penn in shoot em up flicks?

Gangster Squad Movie By far one of the best movies created in the modern world. Gangster Squad had a spectacular plot and cast, not to mention setting the movie in my favorite historical time period. Hands up amazing movie!

Trtv ? Of ydcq ax - I can highly t l0da c school

Excellent This movie is nothing short of excellent. There is action around every corner, literally. Certainly a movie you'll enjoy.

Ryan Gosling Yumm! All jokes a side, it is an ok movie

Alcapon connection Like the way we use to fix tink's before

I'm reading the book 1st then I will watch the movie 2nd

Sucked Glad I didn't buy it. Wasn't what I expected from Sean Penn

Should I buy Not quite sure money is tight

Great popcorn movie! Action was great, acting was meh, excellent time killer but nothing amazing. Perfect for rental.

Finally One of the best movies I've seen in awhile. Ryan and Emma are absolutely mesmerizing together once again and Sean is phenomenal. Absolutely p h e n o m e n a l.

Alright Nice movie....the cast wasn't all that great
