For those not fully versed in Whitey Bulger’s brutality, Black Mass, starring a transformed Johnny Depp, promises to be a disturbing eye-opener about the notorious gangster. Together they weave a tangled web, and at one point Bulger boasts of “just getting started”.
For those wondering when we might see the Johnny Depp of so many years ago that fascinated in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegasor repulsed us in Blow, the new Black Masstrailer is for you.
Depp underwent a physical transformation to play the balding crime boss Whitey Bulger, who ruled over the Boston Mob with an iron grip. Following a string of too many of his violent actions, he becomes an FBI informant for 30 years in order to take down a Mafia family invading his turf.’. It seemed to be working out well – particularly with corrupt FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) helping to smooth things – but when the Bureau began making arrests, agents double-crossed Bulger and prosecuted him.
