ShockYa: The very jokey forthrightness of its title, “Gangster Squad,” evokes a kind of disposable pop-art mash-up of “The Untouchables” and “L.A. Confidential,” but with the seriousness of an old Saturday morning serial, and that’s just what director Ruben Fleischer’s rendering of screenwriter Will Beall’s period piece crime drama achieves. No thunder-clap piece of cinema, this, but instead a square-jawed movie that more or less works to the degree that one watching it is wishing to be entertained at that very moment and only that moment in time, “Gangster Squad” is a good-looking showcase for a lot of actors who have in the past done and will do much more nuanced and interesting work down the line.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
