Critics Consensus: Gangster Squad

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Gangster Squad Ryan Gosling's new movie!

Gangster Squad had a lot of promise. You've probably heard that Gangster Squad is a mess. In fact it probably would not have been that. When the first trailer came out in it there was someone shooting in a movie theater. A few weeks later the Aurora Shooting happened and the director of Gangster Squad, Ruben Fleischer decided to take that out of the movie. The problem? The whole film had to be rewritten and reshooted because that scene was a major plot point.
Gangster Squad has been tryanted that the movie can not tell if it want's to be a drama or a comedy\spoof by Christian Science Monitor. (Example: In the movie they interrogate a guy and think he's lying. Sean Penn says "you know the drill" and then instead of some stupid routine they actually get a power drill and drill it through the guy's head. Seriously? Also the Charlotte Observer called it cliched nonsense. Ouch.
Overall do not see Gangster Squad. You will be disappointed. Very Very Much.
Gangster Squad is rated R.
