"Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling assemble a team of rogue LAPD officers to take down mob boss Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) in crime drama Gangster Squad. Directed by Zombieland&amp;#039;s Ruben Fleischer, the film leaps off from journalist Paul Lieberman&amp;#039;s book Tales from the Gangster Squad, which details the East Coast mob invasion of LA in the &amp;#039;40s and &amp;#039;50s.  Digital Spy sat down with Gosling, Brolin and Emma Stone - playing gangster&amp;#039;s moll Grace Faraday - to discuss the public&amp;#039;s infatuation with crooks, why the ensemble cast was like a band and which cast member had to accept wielding a &amp;quot;lady gun&amp;quot;.  Discussing the appeal of gangster films, Stone said: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s something in all of us that wishes we could be that slick and violent. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s something in our collective consciousness that has that urge to take down people if they&amp;#039;re bad to us. But we can&amp;#039;t do that, and so we watch gangster movies.&amp;quot; Gosling said of his character Jerry Wooters&amp;#039;s firearm of choice: &amp;quot;I wanted [a tommy gun], I thought for sure I was going to get one. &amp;quot;When I got there they decided that we should all have different guns and I thought, &amp;#039;What are we? A boyband? We all have to have our own thing?&amp;#039; So I got a tiny lady gun, but I&amp;#039;m fine with that.&amp;quot; Gangster Squad is showing in cinemas now.
