Description

In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James "Whitey" Bulger (Johnny Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.

    Remember when Johnny Depp apologised to the Australians for smuggling in that dog? That was more convincing then this... Technically correct, photography was beautiful but there was no character arc. We didn't see any of the changes that were dictated to us. Using the mechanism of narratives instead of acting or plot makes for a dull film, especially when the narrative seems to spoon feed the story. RORY COCHRANE though. Seriously good acting there. Thoughts after the movie always veer towards his character. Everyone else was forgettable, he carried the thing. Strong work.
  • I Hate This Movie!

    Sometimes you can actually like the bad guy.....but on this occasion there are no redeeming features of this character. I HATE HIM!
  • Should of been amazing.....

    Johnny Depp looks mesmerising with his blue eyes and balding hair. We are told his character became more and more violent and ruthless, yet this just wasn't portrayed in the film. Just one slow scene after another.

    could have been a great film, but its dull and over the place. Not one of johnny's best efforts. some directors try so hard not to make the next goodfellas, but in all honesty they should of with this story.

    This film was boring it just dragged on. I was expecting a great film for some reason.
  • Its a good movie but

    Found this to be a good story line. The only thing that made it miss off a bit was Johnny Depp limiting his facial movements. Not sure if he was covered in spray wood, but at times the character was not always believable.
  • GREAT MOVIE! BRILLIANT

    This movie is amazing, and that it’s based on a true story blows my mind! Great work.

    Firmly in the average category. We’re all familiar with this narrative: Police in cahoots with gangsters… blah blah. Really felt like I’d seen this film before. Rather slow and plodding… Only just held my attention to the end. Well acted, but not exciting enough. Avoid.
