Even Johnny Depp Couldn't Save this Movie

Rating: 1/10 (21 September 2015)

Maybe it's because I lived in Jersey for thirty years and got use to the dialects or reading about the mob in the newspaper over a cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts. But to me Black Mass was about as exciting as watching a bad night of karaoke when you've promised yourself you weren't going to drink or smoke anymore.
Truth be told, I didn't even recognize Johnny Depp - that's how great an actor he is, but sometimes even a great actor can't save a movie from oblivion.
Of course, I realize critics love this type of movie for all the logical reasons they learned in film school, but really, if I hadn't been invited to see it with a friend I would have walked out halfway through.
Like I said in the opening, maybe it's just me or maybe the king really isn't wearing any clothes ;-)
