But the script by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth merely collects facts and characters diligently, and squishes them together without providing any emotional nuance to their persona. Characters are utterly two-dimensional: their actions correspond to truth but their personalities are monochrome stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>The action that portrays the unholy alliance between the FBI and the Irish Mob, that has the goal of taking down a Mafia family, is somehow ennobled by Masanobu Takayanagi\u2019s cinematography. The Japanese director of photography, whose works include \u2018Silver Linings Playbook\u2019, manages to portray the late 70s and 80s with nostalgia. But the make-up department messes up the magic of the period recreation, by transforming Johnny Depp\u2019s Bulger in a Tim Burton creature with vampire aquamarine contact lens and grotesquely ridiculous wounds.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting issue that is brought to attention by the story of \u2018Black Mass\u2019 is the way gangsters are strongly intertwined with enforcement officials, that should represent law and order. Cops and robbers are no different: both are parasites created by agencies of the state. Nevertheless, despite this unusual (but not unique) element in the compelling true crime drama, won\u2019t save \u2018Black Mass\u2019 from getting swept away into oblivion, as many other movies of this genre.<\/p>\n<p><b>Technical: B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Acting: C<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Story: C+<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Overall: C+<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a
