Highly underrated.

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2018)

Very surprised to see many negative reviews of this movie and I'm not seeing many grounds for them either. I'm a big fan of movies on organized crime and am highly critical of most. Black mass is one of the few that lives up to my high standards. The story of Bulger and Connolly is fascinating in itself and Black Mass succeeds in realistically showing its most interesting aspects and motives of the people involved. Joel Edgerton and Benedict Cumberbatch give solid performances but Johnny Depp deserves all credit for his portrayal of Bulger, one of his best in years. It actually makes you feel why people were terrified of Bulger. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone interested in crime or thrillers.
