Black Mass Ratings & Reviews
Slashfilm
Angie Han
Scott Cooper appears to have made Black Mass under the assumption that his work was half done the moment he jotted the words "Boston-set crime drama" on a notepad.
Complex
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Depp sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise bland crime drama. And when the film isn't distracting, it's mostly just plain boring.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Yes, it's a relief to see Depp playing a real character again, not another one of his circus freaks -- I just wish he'd been given a better film to operate in.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
A a well-crafted, well-acted, and competently executed movie that you've seen many, many times before.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
Black Mass... can't figure Whitey out. Developments that seem important come and go without their mark on the man being clear.
Vox
Emily St. James
It's all handsomely mounted and strikingly shot. The performances are all good, and the dialogue has a muted grandeur. But you'll also notice just how unriveted you are, just how little you can bring yourself to care.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
How much longer must we subscribe, as moviegoers, to the sentimental brotherhood of violence?
International Business Times
Monica Castillo
It's good to see Depp back to form. Shame about the movie he's in, though.
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
Scott Cooper's self-serious style has been oppressive in movies like Crazy Heart and Out of the Furnace, but this time he actually has real material to take seriously.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
The role is Depp's best in many years, and a welcome respite from the parade of prancing pseudo-villains-Mortdecai, the Wolf, Barnabas Collins, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka-to which he has devoted far too much of his career.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Depp's performance as Bulger is as strong, and as energized, as anything he's done on screen for years.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It's as if the spirit of a psychopath like Bulger resists the camera. Or maybe the movie isn't imaginative enough to penetrate his shell.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
But Scott Cooper's Black Mass, based on the book of the same name by first-rate Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill, is a misfire.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
[Depp] holds the screen as pure malevolence.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The acting here is much stronger and more soulful than I would have expected, and not only from Depp.
Detroit News
Tom Long
With all the talent on board here, expectations go beyond creepiness; unfortunately creepiness is about as far as the movie ultimately goes.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The most terrifying image on movie screens this year is the ice blue eyes of Johnny Depp as crime boss Jimmy "Whitey" Bulger, opaque, implacable, and piercing.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
While there's nothing totally new here, Black Mass works the tropes extremely well and sets the scene early in the mean streets of 1970s South Boston.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A bleak, claustrophobic based-on-fact film that draws us completely into a dark world of crime and complicity.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Black Mass, a down and dirty crime drama based on the exploits of Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, is thrilling for a number of reasons.
