Directed by Scott Cooper, based on the 2001 novel, Black Mass (2015) is a biographical crime film centered on James "Whitey" Bulger. The story follows Whitey Bulger's rise to power as leader of the Irish Mob, the Winter Hill Gang, in South Boston during the 1970's - 1990's and up through his run as a Most Wanted fugitive. Interesting is the parallel element that follows his younger brother, Billy Bulger, as he rises to political prominence in the Massachusetts State Senate. Gritty violence mixes with masterful performances. Johnny Depp is frighteningly tense in the lead role as Whitey Bulger. The supporting cast is great as well, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Joel Edgerton and Kevin Bacon.
