    I'm predicting an Oscar nomination and possibly a win for Depp for this. I didn't recognise him at all until half way through the trailer.

    Even in the trailer the prosthetic forehead bugged me. Depp cant seem to act without hiding behind a makeup mask.

    Grew tired of Depp ages ago. On the evidence of the trailer his acting is rather cartoonish and a bit awkward to me.

    There was a time many years ago I really looked forward to a Johnny Depp film coming out.

    Now not so much.



    Jack Nicholson's Whitey Bulger..Frank Costello in The Departed will be hard to top in any film version of Bulger's life story I feel.

    This is probably the first time in a long time that a Johnny Depp trailer hasn't annoyed me.

    Is that really the USA? Could just as easily be North Dublin. :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    It did a good job in portraying Bulger as just another vanilla psycho. He only got lucky in his connection with the FBI. Depp does a good job of making a boring man interesting for as long as possible. The fact is Whitey Bulger is what happens when clerical errors, over-promoted mandarins and psychopaths get together.
    It isn't The Departed or Goodfellas for the simple reason that it sticks close enough to the facts that it may occasion a yawn. But it happened. And as for Benedict Cumberbatch and whatever movie he was in when he strayed on the set of this - I wish him well.

    Well made and worth a watch (the hard coded Korean subtitles might be unique to the cinema I viewed it in).

    After having a little read about it, I'd probably rather re-watch The Departed.

    I walked out of the Korean cinema I viewed it in after 20 minutes. Might give it another shot some time in Ireland but on first viewing this was very boring.

    Walking out of your own house is a bit drastic. Hope you remembered to bring a coat.

    Thought Depp was pretty good, but agree with other criticisms that it was just a bit drab and mundane.

    The makeup on Bulger was pretty distracting I found, he looked slightly vampiric at times and there was something off about his eyes - contacts too big or something? Took my attention away from what was going on too often

    Depp was excellent but film was very poor.

    It was all over the place and seemed to have no direction.

    Sloppy.
