This "By the Gun" indie mob movie wasn't bad, all locals in Boston who were backdrops and so forth.

It will be accurate, but this production company should have never got the rights to make it. Mark Wahlberg and his people should have made it or Affleck and Damon. If the 3 of those guys got along they could have made it the best movie in a long time. The actors on this Black Mass movie are good, with Depp being the main attraction, but the guys I just mentioned would have acted in it themselves and got a much better cast. They are local boys and they know the story better than this crew that made the movie. Now this will be the only movie made on it and it's not the whole story of the Winter Hill Gang. It will still be a blockbuster, but could have been way better, comes out in the fall of 2015. If Scorcese actually makes the movie about Jonny Martorano then it will wipe this film out and be the most accurate, but that has pretty much died on the vine as well like the old Winter Hill script

Last I heard, I thought Affleck & Damon had a deal in place with Warner Brothers? http://screenrant.com/ben-affleck-matt- ... 2013-2014/

Boston had other Irishmen who were more dangerous than Whitey, I know he had some clout, but I always thought the media sensationalized him. Any locals want to chime in to paint a picture of Boston's Irish scene?

Connolly should rot in prison, as an FBI agent to assist in helping Bulger kill witnesses makes him just as responsible, if not more.

Connelly commited the ultimate betrayal upon society. There is no way in hell this guy is getting released. He is coming out in a box. Anything else is a pipedream.
