Saw 'Black Mass' today.
Depp is surely in line for at least an Oscar nomination for this role.
There is a fair amount of violence but not that much gore.
Some reviews have said that Depp somewhat humanizes James 'Whitey' Bulger.
That wasn't my take.
In an interview, Depp reportedly said that no one is entirely evil.
Maybe not, but Whitey comes damn close IMHO.
If you want to see the inner workings of Bulger's Winter Hill Gang and their unholy alliance with FBI agent John Connolly, this movie nails it.
