Black Mass (2015)

Black Mass IMDb
Pretty awesome gangster drama based on the real life Boston gangster, Whitey Bulger.  Johnny fucking Depp plays that gangster.  Cold blooded most of the times.  He nailed his role after a while.  Typical gangster stuff.  Snitch, disrespect, or betray and there will be no mercy.  Enjoyed it.  I'm a big fan of gangster movies so I've seen my fair share. Having said that, this didn't really stood out for me.  It delivered but not exceeded my expectations.  So if you're in the mood for a gangster drama, this would not disappoint but nothing too spectacular.  The performances were awesome though.  My favorite performance is not actually Depp's.  It is by Joel Edgerton.  He plays a scumbag FBI agent who helps Bulger.  Edgerton disappears and becomes that character.  Kudos for him playing a different kind of role.  This movie also has a good flow.  That's it
7 out of 10.
