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.

fantastic return to form for an almost unrecognizable Depp in a solid well paced crime flick. Coming off the strong turn in 'The Gift' Edgerton is fantastic in the role of the compromised agent. A great companion piece to Scorseses 'The Departed'
