My only complaint about this film so far is that Whitey Bulger looks so drastically different from Johnny Depp that the make-up can be a little distracting sometimes.

Though Johnny Depp’s transformative portrayal of the gangster certainly paints him as an unsavory, sadistic character, the preview makes the mistake of soundtracking the gangster’s apparent invincibility and penchant for brutality with Yelawolf’s “Till It’s Gone”, a pulse-pounding track that romanticizes the unsafe nature of his criminal lifestyle.

The story, filled with unbelievable, gut-wrenching twists and a mountain of murder and deceit, should prove to moviegoers everywhere starting September 18 that truth is stranger than fiction.

In 1970s South Boston, Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster Jimmy Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to eliminate their common enemy: the Italian mob.
