It’s by the numbers, predictable, and far from classic, but Gangster hits the bullseye as far as popcorn entertainment goes. Josh Brolin is tough as nails, Ryan Gosling is cool as ice, and Sean Penn is “boo hiss” bad as Mickey Cohen. Throw in some sweet action scenes and swell looking hats and you have a fun flick to enjoy on a Saturday night. What you see is what you get…and that’s a good thing.
