Gangster Land is a 2017 movie directed by Timothy Woodward Jr. and starring Sean Faris, Milo Gibson, and Joe Machado. It is a crime drama based on the rise of notorious gangster Al Capone and the notorious organized crime syndicate known as the Chicago Outfit, in the aftermath of the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre. The movie is set in the 1920s, during the height of Prohibition in the United States, when organized crime syndicates were making a fortune from bootlegging and other illegal activities. The story follows a small-time crook named Jack McGurn (Sean Faris), who gets involved with the Chicago Outfit and rises through the ranks to become Capone's right-hand man. Along the way, he develops a complex relationship with Capone's enforcer, "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn (Milo Gibson), who is both his friend and his rival.

The movie begins with the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, which was a turning point in the battle between the Chicago Outfit and their rivals, the North Side Gang. From there, we see how the Outfit consolidates its power and expands its operations, using violence and intimidation to control the bootlegging and gambling rackets in Chicago.

As the story unfolds, we see how Jack McGurn becomes a key player in the Outfit's operations, first as a hitman and later as a strategist and planner. He is a smart and ambitious young man, with a talent for manipulating people and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get ahead. But he is also haunted by his past, and by the memory of his father, who was killed by the North Side Gang.

Milo Gibson's character, "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn, is a more complex figure. He is a brutal and efficient enforcer, feared by his enemies and respected by his colleagues. But he also has a softer side, and a loyalty to Jack that makes him an interesting foil for the protagonist. Their relationship is both competitive and supportive, as they work together to achieve their goals but also struggle for dominance within the organization.

The movie also features a number of other characters, both real and fictional, including Capone himself (played by Peter Facinelli), his brother Frank (played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler), and the North Side Gang leader Bugs Moran (played by Jason Patric). There are also several romantic subplots, as Jack becomes involved with a nightclub singer named Lulu (played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and Milo develops a relationship with a nurse named Sally (played by Ryan Kiser).

Overall, Gangster Land is a well-crafted crime drama that will appeal to fans of the genre. It is a compelling and engaging story, with strong performances from the lead actors and a rich historical setting that brings the era to life. The movie captures the gritty, violent world of organized crime in the 1920s, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of the most notorious gangsters of the era. It is a dark and sometimes brutal film, but also one that is full of tension and suspense, and that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

Gangster Land is a 2017 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.4.
