Jean, This is about the best true life crime movie I can remember. The story is told straight with dates and locations printed on the screen. It is the story of the Boston crime lord, James "Whitey" Bulger, who is played by Johnny Depp. i was quite surprised at what an excellent job Johnny does with the role. He played it understated and without any over the top histrionics., but so believable. Many places the character is described as psychotic and Johnny is that. Also the facts are not muted as you have shootings and strangulations, etc. But the story about the real life characters in the Boston crime world comes alive. At the end you see the real characters and the outcome for each of them. Many surprise performances show up including Peter Sarsgaard, Kevin Bacon, Benedict Cumberbatch and Joel Edgerton. Dad
P.S. The previews were:
Bridge of Spies
Sicario
Legend
99 Homes
