And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but the police and the politicians who are under his control.

Cohen’s hold on the city is 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 (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to tear Cohen’s world apart.
