John Connolly and James "Whitey" Bulger grew up together on the streets of South Boston. Decades later , in the late 1970s , they would meet again. By then , Connolly was a major figure in the FBI's Boston office and Whitey had become godfather of the Irish Mob. What happened between them - a dirty deal to trade secrets and take down Boston's Italian Mafia in the process - would spiral out of control , leading to murders , drug dealing , racketeering indictments , and , ultimately , to Bulger making the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List.

Reviews
"It's not what you do , it's when and where you do it , and who you do it to or with. If nobody sees it , it didn't happen." Whitey Bulger (Johnny Depp) Black Mass is as amoral as that quote and grim—a true-story as brutal as the murders committed on the screen. By "brutal" I also mean the cinematography , as was the case with director Scott Cooper's "Out of the Furnace ," which depicts a somber , dark South Boston , where danger comes from every opening a street might have.The story of notorious gangster Whitey Bulger (Johnny Depp) carries much of the darkness , if not all. Whitey's role as kingpin mobster and informant for the FBI requires deftness only actors like Depp can carry off. Yes , as the gangster formula usually has it , he evidences warmth and compassion at moments , but his operative emotion is anger.Similar to the gangster actors like Pacino and De Niro , Depp brings a quiet menace to the screen , whereby even the audience must respect the boss , Bulger. Depp is far better than he has been in years (no tics , no phony accents , etc.) , underplaying a role Pacino might have chewn up along with the scenery. His humanistic interactions like caring for his son or an old lady are few but reveal a nuanced character not just a murderer.
