BLACK MASS……FILM OF THE WEEK

The true story of Whitey Bulger, the brother of a state senator and the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston, who became an FBI informant to take down a Mafia family invading his turf.
From the trailer, this looks gripping – a great role for Depp. But can it deliver us a gangster flick that will be placed on a shelf next to the likes of Goodfellas and Heat?
