“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 something to become really amazing. It was actually some strong material but I guess it wasn’t helped by the fact that this story was really notorious and, therefore, nothing really surprising or unexpected happened during the whole thing. I mean, sure, Johnny Depp was quite impressive (he actually said that it was his favorite out of all his films) but the whole thing felt unfortunately like some kind ” read more
Best Films of 2015 (100 movies items)" 8.2/10 An ensemble cast takes a standard script and makes it a hell of a gangster film, with the most memorable performance actually coming from Joel Edgerton. I give half the credit of Depp's performance to the make-up department. Scott Cooper has officially gone 3/3 as a director, with 'Crazy Heart' and 'Out of the Furnace' being his first two."
WreckMe's Movie Journal - 2016 Edition (129 movies items)"July 17th - Blu-ray Erilaista Johnny Deppiä varmaan viimeiseen kymmeneen vuoteen. Depp heittää mainion roolisuorituksen ja tekee Bulgeristaan inhottavan hahmon. Elokuva ei poikkea kaikista muista tosielämän gangstereiden noususta, kultakaudesta ja lopullisesta tuhosta kertovista pätkistä. MIelenkiintoinen ja laadukas filmi silti. Lajityypin suurkuluttajille uppoaa. "

Competent but imperfect gangster thriller

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 the Furnace) are also more notable for their acting than storytelling. Black Mass is bolstered by magnificent performances and a solid technical presentation, yet its two-hour running time merely amounts to a number of effective set-pieces, with Cooper unable to bring it all together in an overly substantive fashion. Still, it's difficult to entirely write off this competent gangster thr” read more

Film Journal - March 2016 (4 movies items)"1. March ---- I really, REALLY wanted to like this one, but I just couldn't. Depp's transformation, especially the blue contact lenses, really took me out of the film. I never felt the characters coming to life either, instead it felt so fake. The rest of the movie just feels clumsily made, and I got bored (which I usually don't), even during the "intense" scenes. "
