Review of Black Mass

was black mass a good movie? it was decent. did i like black mass? it was okay, nothing special. featuring a brilliant stand out performance from johnny depp and other excellent performances from a game cast black mass shines when it comes to acting. the acting propels the movie and keeps you watching. the makeup is fantastic and the sets, the costumes, the locations, the camerawork, the whole production is top notch. the story however is rather ho hum and generic in the way it is delivered. it tells the story of the rise and fall of a gangster but it never does anything creative in the way it tells it. the worst offence in the story is the fact that it jumps years ahead continually and it never really shows the rise of depp. by this i mean you hear the fbi and others talk about all the crimes and crazy things depp did but we never see it. one minute he's a young kid/gangster, the next he's a medium sized gangster and the next he's the king daddy of gangsters. we never see this happen though, just told it has. the story concentrates more on the fbi and their story than depp and his. this is a miscalculation. this miscalculation makes the movie never fly. it makes it kind of work but more so pale in comparison to a) other gangster flicks and b) the awesome trailer for the film. it;s watchable, it's enjoyable to a certain extent and it looks really good but it never reaches the great heights it wants to be by being disjointed and un-effecting. really black mass wants to be the departed but ends up being more godfather iii. it looks good, it should be good, it is kind of well done but in the end it's just never delivers and you walk away disappointed. still worth watching but once is enough for a lifetime. production design: 8 out of 10 cinematography: 8 out of 10 re-playability: 5 out of 10 originality: 6 out of 10 costumes: 9 out of 10 directing: 7 out of 10 editing: 7 out of 10 acting: 9 out of 10 music: 7 out of 10 script: 6 out of 10 72/100
