After the success of “Zombieland,” director Ruben Fleischer returns to the big screen with a gangster period movie that promises to be of the same caliber as the likes of “L.A. Confidential.”

A first trailer for “Gangster Squad” has been released and, as usual, you can see it in full above.

A release date hasn't been announced yet but we should mention that shooting has wrapped. The film will most likely drop in theaters this year.

Featuring an impressive cast and a storyline that vouches to blur the line between the good guys and the bad guys, “Gangster Squad” could easily turn out to be this year's sleeper hit.

Check out the trailer and let us know if you agree with us on that one. We'll leave you with the most awesome line ever uttered by Sean Penn on film.

“A cop who is not for sale is like a dog with rabies – you just gotta put 'im down.”
