Movie Review: Gangster Squad

If only the cliches were a bit less over-the-top and the premise not as exceedingly formulaic, Gangster Squad could have been a lot more satisfying. Sadly, the film was too predictable and poorly staged that it's interesting potential, which faltered mostly on the execution, barely managed to elicit any reaction from me. The writing was underwhelming, the characters were forgettable, and the action, for the most part, were bland. There were some scenes that had some stylistic flair to it, but that's not saying much. I admit, Gangster Squad wasn't THAT bad, but you will forget about it as soon as it is over. I did. Haha. 5.5
