Overview

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and — if he has his way — every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop… except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara and Jerry Wooters who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.

Viewing Notes

This movie is goofy as all hell but I enjoyed every minute of it. It’s like Dick Tracy X Roger Rabbit X LA Confidential. The characters are more like cartoons chewing up the scenery. I suppose I can understand why people are dumping on this flick but whatever. I had a good time with this and would watch it again.
