I
remember when I first heard the story of James Whitey Bulger. It was a headline in the newspaper that my
dad was reading. For this reason I was
excited by the Black Mass movie preview.
I was eager to see what events lead up to his capture, and what made him
one of the most wanted gangsters of all time.
The movie
was disturbing in many ways. But it was
disturbing in a means that made it impressive when considering that it was a
true story. Part of the reason that the
movie gave out such a creepy vibe was due to the amazing acting skills of Johnny
Depp. He has played many interesting and
unique rolls over the past decade, and this movie was no different.
The movie
was not completely focused on gangsters.
A lot of it was focused on the relationship that Jimmy Bulger had with
the FBI. He used this relationship to eluded
capture which made for an astonishing story of corruption and power. It has definitely earned a top spot on my gangster
movie list.
