Well done, well shot, one of my favorites

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2016)

Being from Massachusetts, this is a little more special to me than other mafia movies. I studied the Winter Hill Gang in College and I fell in love with Boston crime. I went into this movie expecting it to be pretty good from what I saw from the previews but I didn't expect it to be as good as it actually was. Johnny Depp blew me away. They transformed him into Whitey Bulger. When I say they transformed him I mean he looks so close that it is almost as if they had a time machine and just went back and captured the time perfectly. The acting is amazing and the movie is beautifully shot.
This movie has a little bit of a different feel to it like most modern mafia movies. It is a little less Godfather and a little more American Gangster and the Departed.
