Yeah, it was good. Depp was good as usual. He played that character great. As Nzoner said pure evil.
On a side note we also saw The Visit this weekend. If you like the horror genre you would probably like this. Shamalayn actually didn't completely suck this time.

I saw a screening of this earlier this week. I thought it was very good, solid movie. Depp was great, but I thought Joel Edgerton was great too as the FBI agent. I've seen some of his other movies but wasn't that familiar with him. The whole cast was really good though.

On a side note I thought Depp would have been an excellent Robert Durst. That whole story is a hard one to express without watching the HBO specials but he's the only serial killer in US history to actually be this obviously guilty and yet escaped justice...

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. |

Personally I would bump to 7 of 10 for Depp's performance but absolutely agree it doesn't make my top 10 mob/crime films.

Thought it was pretty good, 8.5 out of 10. If you are looking for a film that has some disney ending and that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, well this one just isn't it.
