Black Mass Trailer

Whitey Bulger has had the FBI under his thumb for too long, and now people are starting to notice. How can a criminal mastermind responsible for every major offence in the city pass by seemingly unnoticed for an entire lifetime? It's true he landed in Alcatrez at a young age, but the older the more dangerous he becomes; a kingpin of the South Boston criminal underworld who escaped justice by informing authorities of all movements of the rival gang, the Italian Mafia, as suggested by his most useful contact and friend John Connolly. But the Irish Winter Hill Gang is growing ever more powerful, and Bulger's feelings of invincibility lead to more and more murders and destruction. It's time he was stopped, but finding him is not going to be easy.

Based on the real life of one of America's most wanted men, James 'Whitey' Bulger, 'Black Mass' is a brutal thriller featuring material from the 2001 biographical book 'Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob' by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. The film has been directed by Scott Cooper ('Out of the Furnace', 'Crazy Heart') and written by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth ('Get on Up', 'Edge of Tomorrow', 'The Last Legion'), and will arrive in UK cinemas on November 27th 2015.
