Review of Black Mass (2015) by Sharon S — 05 Nov 2015
Maybe it's because I moved to Boston in 2001 and wondered what all the fuss was with this Whitey Bulger guy. The recent documentary "Whitey" and this film informs me what the fuss was about.
Depp is A-Maz-Ing. He defintiely left the fluff behind and this movie gave him the opportunity to show his stuff. How Edward Sissorhands came up with the look of a killer psycho is remarkable. And he Does look like him.
Cumberbatch look like brother Billy? - not so much but I nearly fell over when he nailed the accent. Sissorhands to Whitey, Alan Turing to Billy Bulger, these guys were remarkable in the way they pulled it off.
Made me curious about who did the casting and saw the potential. All the cast was good, same for Connolly. I've already seen it twice, will see it again.
