Review of Black Mass (2015) by David Edelstein for New York Magazine/Vulture — 17 Sep 2015
Johnny Depp makes a valiant stab at the part, but even with his hair thinned and lightened and his face hardened, Depp remains Depp: I never forgot I was watching a big star doing an impersonation. It’s as if the spirit of a psychopath like Bulger resists the camera.
Or maybe the movie isn’t imaginative enough to penetrate his shell.
