The trailer for Black Mass has arrived online following its debut at the 2015 CinemaCon in Vegas. Johnny Depp stars as Whitey Bulger in this dramatic film based on a true story, and the trailer shows Depp is back in form after a stretch of films that were met less than enthusiastically at the box office (and which were savaged by critics).
Black Mass was directed by Scott Cooper and stars Depp, Joel Edgerton, Kevin Bacon, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Dakota Johnson.
The Plot:
In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.
