About this movie

In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Johnny Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.

Excellent portrayal of Whitey Bulger by Johnny Depp. John Connolly was the corrupt FBI agent who helped Bulger and was sent to prison for it. The Boston FBI reeked with malfeasance and corruption, and spawned the Top Echelon program that enabled Whitey Bulger to murder people with impunity for decades. Joel Edgerton does a great job portraying the sleaziness and arrogance of John Connolly.
