Great performance but weak story

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2015)

Johnny Depp's performance is so great! So is his makeup. And what else would be a good reason to recommend this movie?
The Story is really not that wonderful. And also the character is not outstanding, special enough for people to remember.
It is based on history in Boston. So that might be a reason for me to go to theater to watch it.
Good but old, classic mob and gangster movies would be: Godfather (1972, 1974, 1990) Goodfellas (1990) Pulp Fiction (1994).
Besides this, we cannot really see there's some good gangster movies recently. How is it coming?
