"How come no one has nailed Whitey Bulger? He seems to be involved in every crime in the city, and yet the Bureau keeps saying he's clean!"More than anything else, Black Mass is an actor's showcase; a golden opportunity for actors to show off their talents by embodying historical characters. It's the latest cinematic endeavour for director Scott Cooper, whose previous movies (Crazy Heart, Out of t... read more

Initial Thought: Oh man when I saw the trailer for this I knew it had to be a comeback for Johnny Depp. It looked intense, raw, and just plain intriguing. Not to mention that it has a pretty epic cast otherwise. I decided to check it out as soon as I could since it's in one of the theaters I get to go for free. I hope this is as good or better than it looks.

Before this movie came out there was really a good buzz about it. Indeed, not only was Johnny Depp apparently giving a great performance but, at last, he was finally involved a very good movie. Well, eventually, it didn’t make such waves when it was released but I was still really eager to check it out. And indeed, even though it was a decent watch, I thought the whole thing was missing somethin... read more

seira posted a review 4 years, 2 months ago

“Performances are great specially JD's one of his greatest, but story itself was not interesting, more like a documentary. Not enough of Dakota Johnson. But I like the concept of all major characters being the bad guy, good guys had minor roles.” read more

"Hakkında 11 cinayet ve diğer suçlardan 2 kere müebbet cezası bulunan James ‘Whitey’ Bulger’ın hayatını konu alan filmi izledim. Bana kalırsa gereksiz bir biyografi. Johnny Deep performansı ile göz dolduruyor tabi fakat filmin bazı yerlerinde kopukluklar var ve bazı yerler sıkıyor, ama genede iyi film diyebilirim, konuyu güzel işlemiştir "

" Not only was this a well-crafted based-on-a-true-story crime-boss movie, it had everyone in it. Depp, Cumberbatch, Joel Edgerton, Kevin Bacon, Corey Stoll and a shitload of other people you've seen in a ton of other stuff. It was intriguing without being depressing. Well done."
