Twitch: The real life rise and fall of James "Whitey" Bulger already seems the stuff of cinema. He's the gangster who grabbed South Boston by the throat, leading his Winter Hill mob to gain control over much of the city. The fact that he did so while providing information to the FBI, and having a younger brother who was one of the leading politicians in the state, speaks to the strange complexity of his story.
Plenty of films have dealt with Bulger, including Martin Scorsese's The Departed, which uses his life in a tangential way to infuse Jack Nicholson's character Frank Costello with a certain degree of authenticity. Joe Berlinger's extraordinary doc Whitey played Sundance in 2014, and it serves as an excellent primer for those unaware of his story.
