Review of Black Mass (2015) by Red-Opposom-098 — 21 Sep 2015
Black Mass is directed by Scott Cooper (Out of the Furnace, Crazy Heart) and star Johnny Depp, (Rango, Public Enemy) Joel Edgerton (Warrior) Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave) Kevin Bacon (Apollo 13,JFK) Corey Stoll (Ant Man) and Adam Scott (Step Brothers).
Ok this movie was really good and really depressing. The directing was good, the acting was great, and they even capture the time period well. The kitchen scene from the first trailer was great to see on the big screen. One problem I had with the film is that during the film it slowed down, and that's what's going to divide the audience some will like the slow building parts and others won't. There were some parts were they try to make you feel bad for Bulger and it kind of reminded me of Hard Candy where they try to make you feel bad for the antagonist, sometimes it works sometimes it does. The film is a bit forgettable but there are some scenes that stick with you after you leave and for a while. All in all Black Mass is an enjoyable film and if I had the chance to watch it again I would. It's just unbelievable that this happened, you just can't make this up. Even though the weekend is over you should watch this if you haven't.
