Pirate captain. Demon barber. Mad Hatter. It would be hard to exaggerate the number of hats worn by Johnny Depp–literal and otherwise–over the course of the Oscar winner’s career as Hollywood’s most beloved chameleon. Eighteen years after Donnie Brasco, it’s yet another crime drama that has rediscovered Depp’s acting chops as the chilling face of James “Whitey” Bulger, once America’s most notorious gangster and the all-too-real subject of director Scott Cooper’s unsettling and surprisingly soulless Black Mass. The edgy, longwinded retelling of the FBI’s most baffling case, there is no short way to describe Black Mass, so as the film says, “Let’s start.”
One of 2023's biggest and dumbest creature features is making waves right now on streaming around the world.
"If you are already a fan of this franchise, this is a very good option this weekend at the cinema. It's well made, the actors are great and the story/world setting is very interesting." - Bryan (Resident Entertainment)
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
I recall Depp stating that this was his favorite movie to make. I don't doubt it given his performance here. A shame everyone else is so underused. I'm not one for over-indulgent runtimes, but Black Mass definitely could've benefited from the extra hour they cut.
Shame its getting such mediocre reviews, thought this was going to be a huge oscar movie.
