Goodfellas ain't got nothing on Black Mass

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2015)

The film chronicles the rise and fall of notorious gangster James Whitey Bulger(Johnny Depp) and his Winter Hill Gang. Who in the mid 1970's became an FBI informant by agent John Connolly(Joel Edgerton) who is a childhood friend. Not to mention his politician brother Billy Bulger(Benedict Cumberbatch) who loves his brother, but chooses not to get involved in his activities.
This was a very suspenseful film, it really pulls out all the stops of a true gangster film. Everybody delivers in there performances, Joel Edgerton, Kevin Bacon, and Benedict Cumberbatch. But it's Johnny Depp has Whitey Bulger that really takes the film, I mean he really knocks it out the park. Depp is so frightening, you'll be grabbing your seat in terror every time he's on the screen, cause you'll feel like somethings going down. I liked the 70's and 80's look also. I hope Depp will be nominated for a Oscar.
