BlackSnow176 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Hey there! Did anybody watch the movie "Black Mass". It came out recently. It's a biopic about Whitey Bulgar, one of America's most dangerous criminals of all time. It also marked Johnny Depp's return to the land of good movies. I saw it on cinema just the other night with my father. I went with mixed expectations from what I read about the movie, but I can honestly say that this is the best movie of 2015 I've seen so far. Johnny Depp looked almost unrecognizable, and my father didn't even know he was watching Johnny Depp this whole time until the middle of the film. They did a great job with the makeup. The acting and the story were both good, but could have been better. Johnny Depp's appearance was a little distracting at first, but I got used to it fast. It was sort of a slow-paced movie, as opposed to a mindless action, but that's what biopics are supposed to be. I'm not familiar with Whitey Bulgar and his true story, but the movie didn't glamorize him or gang life at all, and made me interested to dig deeper and research who the real person was and what he did. It showed the story of a true sociopath, who struck a deal with the FBI for them to leave him and his people alone in exchange for some information against a rival gang. He made the FBI fight his war, while he himself ended up being second on their most wanted list. I was expecting another not-so-good film starring Johnny Depp, but not only did it exceed my expectations, it became my favorite 2015 movie so far. It surely wasn't "Goodfellas" or anything like it, but e very decent movie to say the least. If you enjoy that kind of movies, go watch "Black Mass"! I give it 10 out of 10 stars. "The true story of Whitey Bulger, the brother of a state senator and the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston, who became an FBI informant to take down a Mafia family invading his turf."
