Another Gangster movie

Rating: 6/10 (18 September 2015)

A really well-done movie! The cinematography is real eye-candy for the whole pic. And Johnny Depp and cast all do a fine job.
If only there was more story to go with. Right from the opening scene you know pretty much what's going to happen, and you'll be right. There's no surprises, no plot twists, and not even much in the way of new information throughout the whole film.
Whitey Bulger is a really bad guy and he has some really bad friends as well. There's lots of typical gangland violence, lots of ratting out one's buddies, plea bargaining, and psychopathic personalities and "Goodfellas" ripoffs, and only about 20 minutes or so of actual story to tell.
Not awful, just not a lot there.
