| Bryan Lienesch | 86 | - A very-well executed rendition of an unbelievable story. |
| Brittani Burnham of Rambling Film | 85 | (full review) |
| Sober Film Critic James Brown | 80 | - Black Mass has renewed my faith in Johnny Depp. (full review) |
| Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine | 80 | - Black Mass shows a depth to Depp I'm not sure we knew he had. There's not 1oz. of himself lurking behind the cold gray eyes of this famed Boston Gangster. It's not just the makeup,which is what Steve Carell hid behind last year in Foxcatcher (click for T&T post) , I didn't think his performance as the seriously disturbed John E. du Pont, was as praiseworthy as everyone else gave him credit for. But I'm in awe of Johnny Depp's transformation, he's truly scary. (full review) |
