NY Times Movie Blurb Poetry
Jan. 11th, 2013 10:04 am"Gangster Squad” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Ridiculous violence and swaggering profanity.
And from the review: "This [movie] might be described as genre zombie-ism: the hysterical, brainless animation of dead clichés reduced to purposeless, compulsive killing. Too self-serious to succeed as pastiche, it has no reason for being beyond the parasitic urge to feed on the memories of other, better movies." http://movies.nytimes.com/2013/01/11/movies/gangster-squad-with-sean-penn-ryan-gosling-and-emma-stone.html?smid=pl-share
