"Pretty Good Crime Drama!"

Rating: 7/10 (27 October 2015)

Johnny Depp and Joel Edgerton star in this 2015 crime drama based on a true story. This takes place in South Boston during the 1970's to 80's and Depp plays Irish mob figure, Jimmy 'Whitey' Bulger who becomes an informant for the FBI for long time friend, John Connolly (Edgerton) who is one of the bureau's top agents. John gets himself in a mess when he reveals secrets and Jimmy starts pulling crimes and wiping out other witnesses as well as mobsters to be on top. Kevin Bacon, W. Earl Brown and Dakota Johnson also appear. This is a pretty good film, Depp is great in it as usual and the film sort of resembles "Goodfellas," "The Departed" and "Donnie Brasco." I recommend this.
