Johnny Depp (Mortdecai) keeps his enemies close and doesn’t trust anyone in Black Mass, the crime drama that stars Depp as notorious real-life Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger.
In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton, Exodus: Gods and Kings) persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the FBI in order to eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. This unholy alliance begins to spiral out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power and become one of the most ruthless and dangerous gangsters in Boston history.
“Black Mass” also Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game) as Whitey’s brother, powerful State Senator Billy Bulger; Rory Cochrane (Argo) as Steve Flemmi, Whitey’s closest partner in crime as FBI Special Agent in Charge Charles McGuire; Jesse Plemons (TV’s Fargo) as Whitey’s main henchman, Kevin Weeks; Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey) as Whitey’s sometimes woman; and Juno Temple (Afternoon Delight) as an an ill-fated working gal.
Directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart), Black Mass was generally well-liked by the critics but only did fair business at the domestic box office, where it grossed $62.5 million.

- The Manhunt for Whitey Bulger (Blu-ray only)
