Your honour, we'd like to change our review from "all kinds of awesome" to "freakin' brill."

I gotta say, I don't want to watch The Gangster Squad now.  Not that I wanted to before, but now, I don't think there's ANY chance that that movie will be better than Untouchables.  How can you beat Sean Connery or Robert DeNiro?  Who better for that stats guy than Charles Martin Smith?  Even Costner is kinda perfect in his role. 

Even though the story is pretty straightforward, it still feels like there's twists and surprises and a fast pace, it doesn't feel like the movie is actually as long as it is, and prohibition Chicago looks great, and there's no CG enhancements or anything.  The fact that it's pretty much all real locales just helps sell that whole world, makes everything feel more solid than movies feel today.

Didn't take any notes, so I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of.
