Black Mass: Looks like a winner

[Ron_TN]

I think Johnny Depp is Oscar bound on this one

 

While his brother Bill (Benedict Cumberbatch) remains a powerful leader in the Massachusetts Senate, Irish hoodlum James "Whitey" Bulger (Johnny Depp) continues to pursue a life of crime in 1970s Boston. Approached by FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), the lawman convinces Whitey to help the agency fight the Italian mob. As their unholy alliance spirals out of control, Bulger increases his power and evades capture to become one of the most dangerous gangsters in U.S. history.

Black Mass should be amazing in my opinion. But then again, I'm a sucker for old mob/gangster movies...

Same. Doubly so for anything involving the Irish Mob, some interesting stories to be told I'm betting. I bet it's good, Whitey was a vicious killer and Depp is a great actor.

It was an awesome movie, but I feel for the victim's families that have to deal with some of the muders portrayed on screen.

I watched that older Depp movie Blow on TV a week or so ago, I like Johnny Depp, this will be one of the few new movies out that I would want to see.

I love that movie. I've watched several dozen times. I just can't seem to pass it up when it shows up on the TV guide. He really is a great actor and I can't wait to watch this one as well.

It was a pretty good movie but they didn't even scratch the surface of what Bulger did in the real world.

Even though The Lone Ranger was cartoonish I still liked it, mainly because of Johnny Depp as Tonto who always had that dead Raven on his head. He made the movie watchable for me at least.

 Same here. There has been a series on the old mobs on Directv lately. Good stuff, if you like that sort of thing.

 It would take several movies to cover all the crimes Whitey did over the years, then disappear in Calif. for years.

If you have netflix you should start watching Narcos. Its a series about Pablo Escobar and its been really really good so far.

I don't have Netflix, but it'll eventually wind up on satellite ( along with 3 million commercials ).
