6.5 out of 10. Yeah, Johnny was very good but sorry fellas, the movie is nowhere near worthy of being mentioned in the top ten mob movie/ crime dramas. Some clumsily written dialogue, poorly directed scenes, and characters that didn't reflect their persona or demeanor from the two books I've read about Bulger/Winter Hill Gang. It's as though the actor or maybe the director said "nope; I wanna play him MY way." A documentary it isn't, and I understand artistic license. But deep down Goebbels wasn't sympathetic towards jews, and Steve Flemmi had no qualms about killing. Don't try to change generally accepted facts about a real person.
I wanted this movie to kickass. Depp did, but the rest of the movie was good not great.
