Johnny Depp at his very best!

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2015)

It was an fantastic ensemble cast all around with even the smallest role being crafted by a gifted actor.
The narrative was a slow ride filled with intense drama as Black Mass tells the true story of a small time gangster who was able to climb to the top of south Boston's underworld thanks to a deal he had with FBI agent, John Connolly.
Sometimes the Boston accents seemed slightly too much, especially when everyone had the attitude down so well and really set up the gritty environment the movie was portraying. The cinematography even adds to it making every thing not so Hollywood beautiful but very real to the events that happen between 1975 to 1995.
But the real magic in Black Mass is Mr. Depp who showed much depth in his acting. I've seen pictures where Depp would engulf himself into a character, Like with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas were he also sports a bald head, but that was a black comedy that exploited his well documented sense of humor, but playing James "Whitey" Bulger, met leaving as little as Depp as possible,to become unrecognizable.
Johnny Depp created an outstanding achievement in acting in this generation's version of Good Fellas. it's a must see.
