Should win a few awards!

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2015)

Great movie about south Boston's Irish mob. Scott Cooper (director) was able to produce the grit and raw aggressiveness of South Boston with Black Mass's characters. The introduction of the bar bouncer's scene's dialogue and raw violence creates pace/feel for the entire film. I felt a cold chill from the beginning. Depp portrays a cold and harden criminal to perfection. F B I agent Joel Edgerton Depp's partner walks, acts, feels, like a jaded agent in it for himself. Edgerton should be nominated for best supporting actor. Black Mass's story about an unholy alliance between F B I (Edgerton) and the Irish mob (Depp) where an informant gives information for free rain while eliminating the criminal competition. Hence, the unholy alliance is a black mass which creates the story's title. A chilling true story, One could not make up such fiction. Proof real life is better than fiction. Nine out of ten stars.
