As I told Alessandra, I am all kinds of excited. I love crime dramas. I love period pieces. I love shootouts. I love Los Angeles and vintage 1940s fashion. And I love Ryan Gosling. This flick has all these elements. It's as if the universe reached down and gave me a gift to get me through final exams! As for the movie itself as period crime action story, I'm hoping for something as good as 1987's brilliant Untouchables. Besides, it has a fantastic cast of some serious names. I'll spare you my latest half-despairing, half-admiring statement of how Gosling seems intent on doing everything imaginable to break me down and drag me back into relapse every time I think I might have a chance to get over this embarrassing schoolgirl crush. Period crime drama action now too, Gosling? Really? Really?
UPDATE: The Cine-Sib approves of the trailer and is pumped to see the movie itself. He pointedly said that he hopes it'll be better than 2009's Public Enemies -- that is, that it'll be the great film that he thought Public Enemies should have been but wasn't. I concur. Ohpleasepleaseplease, may Gangster Squad be the awesome cinematic love child of L.A. Confidential and The Untouchables!
