I saw. It today and it was a let down. It wa boring and dreary and didn't have the flash or panache of other gangster films like casino , goodfellas , or American gangster. It's just lurches on. Johnny Depp was good, but the film overall was just a bore. I also saw EVEREST IN IMAX 3D . Now that was good. Sad movie , it's about the tragic climb up Everest in 1996, but it's shot really well and very entertaining, and when it hits , it hits hard. I wasn't checking my phone like I was in Black Mass.

Damn that sucks i'll still check it out though we might have different taste and i might like it but thanks for the heads up. I'll check out the other one too

Or is the character's name the name of my cock? "Whitey Bulger"???? LOL!!!

Fun fact Whitney Bulger was the inspiration for Frank Costello in the departed. 38Super - the film is directed by Scott Cooper who did The Houston shot Crazy Heart (did not see) and out of the furnace with Christian Bale and woody Harrelson - excellent film. The pint I was going to make is that he directs dark and dreary films, that have a slow burn. And gay applied to a gangster film just didn't seem to mix - to me at least - but check it out and let me know what you think.

Slow burn for sure. I thought it was a brutal story and a pretty good movie. No regrets on dropping the time or the dime to see it. My respect for Depp has grown.

Im excited about Sicario -

I heard it's good but also slow at times. it's from the director of Prisoners - Which is an excellent film but dry at times.
