Story Line:
A chronicle of the LAPD's fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s.
For his new movie, Ruben Fleischer makes a wise directorial move away from action comedies and goes back to the mid-century for a hard-boiled crime drama with a fine ensemble cast. You might remember the squad was re-booked from an awards-friendly 2012 release to this month after the awful events of Aurora, Colorado; Fleischer cut certain footage and re-shot some scenes in order to soften the film's violence. Despite the high-profile cast, you might say the person getting the most attention at the moment is screenwriter Will Beallsince he is developing the Justice League script for Warner Bros.
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his thumb. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s wod aparrl
