Johnny Depp transforms into one of the most notorious criminals in US history, James “Whitey” Bulger in director Scott Cooper’s Black Mass. The film follows the story of the Irish American mob boss from Boston during the 1970s and how he made a dirty deal with the FBI to be an informant and trade secrets to take down the Italian mafia. John Connolly (portrayed by Joel Edgerton) grew up with Whitey on the streets of South Boston, and after Connolly became a big shot in the FBI he sought Whitey out and arranged deals to work together and trust each other on what is considered one of the biggest cases in Boston’s FBI history.
Welcome to The Movie Diaries, the blog that I try to assist fellow movie goers to pick and choose a great movie to see that is either in theaters, on Netflix, or already on television or dvd. I love movies and everything that comes along with them so please read my reviews, check out some of the links, and feel free to leave any comments, questions or concerns I look forward to hearing other people's opinions on movies. -Dorothy Gale
