Plot: The film tells the true story of an infamous American convicted murderer and former organised crime figure James "Whitey" Bulger, who becomes the godfather of an Irish mob. John Connolly is Bulger's long-time friend who grew up together with him, and now he is a major figure in the FBI's Boston office. To take down an Italian Mafia family, Bulger works with Connolly and becomes an FBI informant, but things get out of control when murders, drugs and racketeering indictments get involved in the process which leads to Bulger becoming one of FBI's most wanted criminals in their Ten Most Wanted List.
My Movie Review: The movie is dark and violent explores the rise of gangster with the help of FBI. It focuses on James Whitey Bulger becoming the biggest criminal in town and godfather of an Irish mob with the help of his friend John Connolly who protected him in getting caught on the crimes committed. Johnny Depp received praises from critics for his performance for being compelling and intense but the story felt short through it's material.
My Favorite Term: Black Mass
A Black Mass is a ritual characterized by the inversion of the Traditional Latin Mass celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church. The history of such rituals is unclear before the modern era. The Black Mass was allegedly celebrated during the Witches' Sabbath. In the modern era for the sole purpose of Satanic worship and sacrifice in ridicule of Christianity.
