OK, I’ll admit it. Ever since I first saw Little Caesar and The Public Enemy I’ve been a sucker for a good gangster film. That’s why I thought LA. Confidential was a modern day masterpiece and why I even liked Bugsy more than a lot of folks. That’s just one of the reasons I’m looking forward to this companion piece to those two last mentioned films, with Sean Penn as real-life gangster Mickey Cohen and Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Nick Nolte among the LAPD outsiders who decide to try to take Cohen down. Considering (so I’ve been told) Cohen owned all the police, the politicians and the prostitutes in Southern California, that’s no easy task.
