Believe it or not, I just watched Gangster Squad for the first time a couple days ago Tourmaline.
The film had such a cartoonish look/feel I thought many of the locations were cgi or matte paintings (especially Slapsy Maxies).
..also, I didn't realize the rustic timber interior of Clifton's Brookdale was still intact.
