About this movie

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town... that is until a crew of LAPD officers led by Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling) wage war on his empire.

Ratings and reviews

Films staring this actor has never really been for me until now with a good cast behind him and good direction overall. This movie shows how old school gangster movies can be bang up to date... seriously enjoyed it.

A film with Sean Penn wasted! This film is a period action film with zero substance! If you want the same period with action, drama, story and excellent acting, watch 'L.A. Confidential' instead! It's a million times better! :-)

What a performance from a stellar cast. This film had everything; comedy, violence, romance and a plotline that was easy to follow...right up my street!
