Are you pointing a finger at me?

Rating: 6/10 (16 April 2018)

James "Whitey" Bulger (Johnny Depp) and John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) played cops and robbers on the playground and grew up and played it as adults. Whitey became an informer for FBI agent Connolly in exchange for protection, an alliance which he exploited. Based on a true story, the film's action and drama was a cut below its fictional counterparts. While Depp gives us a great performance, the film moved in a slow gear. We learned that jai alai is crooked, which is common knowledge to just about everyone.
The characters in the film were very stiff for South Boston. And while Depp and the film will be nominated for something, I found it to be over rated and no better than a TV docu-drama. Watch "The Town" instead.
