the acting was on point, the makeup was distracting as fukk. ... at least for me it was. at no point did i believe i was watching Whitey Bulger, it was just Johnny Deep in makeup. it was also a really unfulfilling movie for some reason. every now and then i watch a movie that feels like nothing big happens and it just ends. i don't remember much from Black Mass, it just kinda came and went... so in that regard, i bet Scorsese would have improved it.
