Sean Penn is terrible as Mickey Cohen
What were they thinking casting Sean Penn as Mickey Cohen? It was absolutely dreadful. He played it like a bad Batman villain. The audience was laughing at his performance at the screening I attended. His portrayal is so bad and over the top it takes away from the entire movie

Gangster Squad
Released: January 09, 2013
Synopsis:
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.
