Since the ground covered in Black Mass has been covered before many, many times, and often much better, I think a moratorium should be placed on stories centered on the rise and and fall of gangsters

The role is Depp's best in many years, and a welcome respite from the parade of prancing pseudo-villains-Mortdecai, the Wolf, Barnabas Collins, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka-to which he has devoted far too much of his career.

Depp's performance as Bulger is as strong, and as energized, as anything he's done on screen for years.

Black Mass... can't figure Whitey out. Developments that seem important come and go without their mark on the man being clear.

It's as if the spirit of a psychopath like Bulger resists the camera. Or maybe the movie isn't imaginative enough to penetrate his shell.

A gripping character study and the best-acted film of the year so far, an unnerving look at the pursuit of power.

Black Mass attempts to be something great; yet, when thinking back to it, it's likely only the acting that will be remembered. The film is riddled with common gangster tropes and underdeveloped characters.

How much longer must we subscribe, as moviegoers, to the sentimental brotherhood of violence?

[Depp] holds the screen as pure malevolence.
