“Gangster Squad” Is A Dud
The first time I saw a trailer for “Gangster Squad,” I thought it looked quite silly. Don’t get me wrong; I love Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte, even Sean Penn and director Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland,” “30 Minutes Or Less”) at times, but this just looked brainless.

Quentin Tarantino Has Gone Unchained With "Django Unchained"
