Black Mass spins a gripping yarn out of its fact-based story -- and leaves audiences with one of Johnny Depp's most compelling performances in years.

Depp has never been short on menace, and he is so unpleasant as Bulger that his usual gangster charm never kicks in, leaving the audience cold. Dec 1, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Black Mass... can't figure Whitey out. Developments that seem important come and go without their mark on the man being clear. Nov 10, 2015

[Depp] is evidently having a fine time - and if his aim is to make our flesh creep, from his perspective at least Black Mass must be reckoned a success. Oct 7, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. Sep 19, 2015 | Full Review…

Although not a particularly original film Black Mass is as good as it can be given its constraints, holding the audience's attention throughout with lean editing and sterling performances. Apr 19, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's almost as if Cooper felt he needed to outfit Bulger with mob clichés in order for the movie to work. A more idiosyncratic approach may have allowed Depp to reach greater heights. Mar 4, 2019 | Rating: 6.5/10 | Full Review…

It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes a good crime/gangster movie great. It's a combination of memorable characters, solid acting, and a thrilling narrative. Black Mass has some of these qualities, but never all of them at the same time Dec 10, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
