This is a FBI Mafia sort of movies. Thou this is the Irish mafia not the italian one. Also in the movie you also have this rival between the Irish and the Italian mafias.
So Bulger, character played by Johnny Depp is the boss of the Irish mafia. He did all sort of bad things including murder and got away with it because he was in "alliance" with Conolly (played by Edgelton) an FBI agent who was his childhood friend. His brother (played by Cumberbatch) was involved in the Senate.
JD in this one (as reviewed by many) really brought how cruel Bulger could be. He was like someone without a conscious or pain. He killed or asked his goons to kill as he liked. The execution scenes were nicely executed (!) Not overly done.
There were quite a number of known stars too, K Beacon and that guy from Ant Man were in this one.
To me this film did not depict the power of Bulger rather than how corrupted or stupid the FBI can be when it comes to people they choose not to prosecute because they are their informants. Why not as Bulger did get away with murder in broad daylight on the road with a rifle.
Good fulfilling gangster movie.
