Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A star-studded cast grace this poorly scripted Untouchables rip-off, set in late-1940s LA.
Josh Brolin's brutish detective, John O'Mara, is tasked with taking down one-dimensional hoodlum Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn, doing his umpteenth Robert De Niro impression) with a small squad of brave coppers (including Ryan Gosling's smoothie, below, and Giovanni Ribisi's nerd). This predictable tale has momentum and the period detail is pretty – but it's nowhere near as compelling as an episode of Boardwalk Empire.
