Strictly criminal

We can end speculations that Johnny Depp is losing his talent. His role as James 'Whitey' Bulger - ruthless real time gangster in Boston - oozes wrath, craziness and utter evil. The movie - one of the best in recent years - depicts the Boston underworld better than its close predecessors The Town, What Doesn't Kill You, Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River. It has an authentic vibe to it and as a mafia movie ranks among the very best.
