Black Mass

I've seen quite a few films about Whitey Bulger in the last few years, so, plot-wise, I didn't feel like this film necessarily added anything new to the subject. However, the acting in this was absolutely top-notch. It's been a lot of years since I've seen Johnny Depp really sink deep into a role, long enough that I'd forgotten how good he can be. He is at his best in this film, where he seems to inhabit Bulger heart and soul. The whole of the cast was really on their game, and the direction and script were solid. A well done film about a well known subject. 4/5
