Johnny Depp has his own cottage true-crime gangster movie industry with, Donnie Brasco, Blow, Public Enemies and now this, based on the same James "Whitey" Bulger that inspired Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed. Depp is perhaps career best creating a monstrous and terrifying unlikable villain, though director Scott Cooper just fails to convert. There's tons to recommend here though including a stella cast.
