Black Mass
This movie wants so badly to be a Scorsese movie. Every
frame feels lifted from Goodfellas or The Departed. But just copying Scorsese’s
style may not be enough, despite of the best efforts of all involved. Turns
out, the story may also be a factor. The story feels hacked-up, episodic, and
never builds or crescendos into any kind of emotional climax. So what if the
acting is good and the accents seem authentic? If there isn’t a satisfying
ending, you’re going to feel… meh.
