Good but not Great

Rating: 5/10 (29 November 2015)

I was really looking forward to this movie but at the end it was a bit underwhelming. Good acting from Johnny Depp and Joel Edgerton. Depp in particular is menacing as Bulger. He will probably get nominated for an Oscar and so will the makeup artist.
Some characters were wasted such as Benedict Cumberbatch as whiteys brother and Corey Stroll as whyshak. But I guess they couldn't fit them all in the movie.
Some unnecessary scenes like the dinner scene with David Harbor which i suspect they were trying to make like the "what do you mean funny", scene from Goodfellas.
I enjoyed the scene at the start with Bulger explaining to his son how to get away with crime
so like I said good but not great.
