Not bad.. But not Great

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2015)

This movie had a lot of hype in the first weeks of its release. After reading some reviews here saying that it was great and that Johnny Depp would win an Oscar/getting an Oscar nomination at least, I decided to watch the movie and realized 2 things: The movie is not great, and Depp will not have a nomination. Yes it is true that his acting was good. In fact, it was the best of Johnny Depp's acting for a long time. But I don't see any reason why the Academy should nominate him for best leading actor, considering that the movie didn't force him to be great. The script was not hard at all. It was well written though, and the cinematography was OK. The rest of the cast was good as well, since they were almost all great actors. I would say this movie is fun to watch, but in my opinion it should have more violence and explicit torture, since this was a movie about a Gang. Overall I will rate this a 7/10 Doesn't deserve more than that.
