Review of Black Mass (2015) by Axet — 19 Sep 2015
Over-rated by stupid herd mentality critics and moron users on here, don't believe any of it. The movie is very well acted. The filmmaking "technically" is very astute and assured. The tone is serious and correct. Depp is amazingly transformed and excellent. This all said, it is a sheer near excruciating bore! It is flat, it is lifeless, it is staid, and it is utterly predictable with no surprises whatsoever. You are better off watching a free true crime show on TV.
Put it this way: I give "The Departed" a flat out 10. Best film of 2006 and miles above this thing. "Goodfellas" a 9 or 10 in my book. "Scarface" 9. "Carlito's Way" 10. "Mystic River" 8 or 9. You see above what I give this.
