Description

In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James "Whitey" Bulger (Johnny Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.

    If you’re here for a hot Johnny Depp movie you probably didn’t watch the trailer. I knew the Whitey Bulger case before seeing the movie and that alone is why I think it’s a good film. They retold the story well.

  • What a great movie

    This movie is up there with the all time great gangster movies, godfather, good fellas, casino, this is a raw gritty dark gangster movie. The acting is great across the board and the action is realistically intense. Definite worth the watch, and a purchase.

  • It’s a biopic

    It’s a biopic about someone you aren’t familiar with. It’s uneven and jumps around. Pretty boring

    The movie itself was amazing. Many people compare it to the Departed and although that is a great film in itself, Black Mass is more subtle instead of dramatized. Brilliant performance by Johnny Depp. If i hadn't already known he was in it, I wouldn't have guessed.

  • Same Depp acting

    The story was very interesting and I think it was very well directed but I could not go over the fact that when you see Johnny Depp you don't believe he is playing the character. I think he did not transmit. The movie was good but the fact that i could not believe the main character made me give it 3 stars.

  • Amazing!!

    I liked the story and Depp does a good job of acting, I really forgot he was Johnny Depp and I saw Whitey Bulger. Edgerton over acted and wasn't believable. Peter Sarsgaard, what can I say he's horrible, can't understand why he is still employed. Worst actor ever.

    One of Depp's greatest performances, he is Bulger! if you want a true portrayal of the Bulger story then this is it, not the glitzy Departed!, Please give Depp more roles like this!
