Released in 2013 and running 113 minutes,this film starts very slow as far as action goes but the cast is "A" level headed by favs of mine,Sean Penn,Josh Brolin,Sullivan Stapleton,Nick Nolte and many more fine actors who seemed to enjoy this tribute to the 40's "film nor" genre. That said,its no new spin on the old gangster vs honest cops story and so along with the slow start it for this sort of genre fans only dispute the fine"over the top"acting.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
It's 1949 Los Angeles, and gangster Mickey Cohen has moved in, with the intention of controlling all criminal activity in the city. He has bought local judges and police, and no one is willing to cross him or testify against him. Everyone except Seargant John O'Mara, a former World War II soldier, whose goal is to settle with his family in a peaceful Los Angeles. Police Chief William Parker decides to form a special unit whose mission is to take down Cohen, and chooses O'Mara to lead the unit. O'Mara chooses 4 cops and asks another cop and vet, Jerry Wooters to join him but Wooters is not interested. But when he witnesses the murder of a young boy by Cohen's people, he joins them, and they decide to take apart Cohen's organization. Cohen wonders if a rival is going after him, but eventually he realizes it's the cops. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com
