Johnny Depp miraculously descends into the body and soul of James “Whitey” Bulger, the South Boston street thug who became the city’s most feared organized crime figure in the ‘80s. Joel Edgerton is superb as John Connally, the FBI agent who protected Bulger; Kevin Bacon, Adam Scott and David Harbour are the Feds Bulger and Connally scammed; Rory Cochrane and Jesse Plemons are Whitey’s confederates in acts of horrific violence; Benedict Cumberbatch is Whitey’s brother, a successful, conflicted politician; and Dakota Johnson and Julianne Nicholson are women kept in the shadows.
Director – Scott Cooper
