Based on a book by Paul Lieberman, Gangster Squad tells the true story of the secretive police unit that took down real life mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn). In the film, just as it happened in real life, this elite group of officers were assembled for their uniqueness and proved to be the one and only method of freeing up the choke-hold Cohen had on L.A. in the mid to late 40’s.

This time though, Mr Fleicher is having Jesse trade Zombies and twinkies for a bomb and a bank robbery…trust me, it’ll make more sense when you watch it. Have a look! So remember what I said yesterday about Redband trailers hyping a movie that probably won’t be very good? Well today I take a slightly recanted stance. 30 Minutes or Less looks pretty damn funny and I’m eager to see more, especially if…
