The real life Whitey anecdotes are far most interesting than the movie ones.

“Black Mass might not be a great movie, but there’s probably at least one guy who likes it even less than our reviewer did, and that’s the real life gangster James “Whitey” Bulger.
Of course, he hasn’t seen the movie, and he probably never will considering he’s serving two life sentences and seems to hate the idea of its existence. He refused to communicate with Johnny Depp, who portrays him, in any way while the movie was being made.
Here’s a statement his attorney gave to People, saying Bulger, 85, has zero plans to watch the movie even if it somehow makes its way to the Florida prison where he’s being held.
Johnny Depp might as well have been playing the Mad Hatter all over again as far as James Bulger is concerned, the lawyer, Hank Brennan says. Hollywood greed is behind the rush to portray my client, and the movie missed the real scourge created in my clients case, the real menace to Boston during that time and in other mob cases around the country the federal governments complicity in each and every one of those murders with the top echelon informant program.
