Review of Black Mass (2015) by Lamontraymond — 17 Sep 2015
It's a good, solid movie. Depp's performance is impressive, as is Edgerton's. (I'd be remiss to leave out the smaller powerhouse role of Rory Cochrane). As far as stories go, this one is a bit more unsubstantial than I thought it would be.
They don't explore certain areas that seem like fertile ground, such as the relationship between the brothers: Bulger the criminal and Bulger the state senator. They touch on it, but that dynamic would be incredibly interesting to explore.
Bottom line: it's absolutely worth seeing, but is it as good as The Town, The Departure, Good Fellas, etc? Not close.
