Black Mass is a 2015 film directed by Scott Cooper, starring Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, and Benedict Cumberbatch.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Black Mass is the Real Life story of infamous Boston crime kingpin Whitey Bulger. The story starts in 1975 with James "Whitey" Bulger (Depp) already the chief of the Irish mob in south Boston. Bulger's Winter Hill gang is fighting a turf war with the Angiulo Brothers, an Italian crime gang which is trying to muscle out Bulger's gang in order to take control of organized crime in Boston. FBI Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) a native of Boston and friend of Bulger since childhood, comes up with an idea: Bulger will inform on the Italian mafia for Connolly, which will allow Connolly to bust the Italians and will make things easier for Bulger. Eventually Connolly does bust the Italian mob in Boston, but in the process gets in way too deep with Bulger, protecting him from prosecution and effectively becoming Bulger's mole within the FBI as Bulger becomes the most notorious gangster in Boston history.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Bait the Dog: Whitey appears to give Flemmi's stepdaughter, Deborah, a large apartment for her to stay in and she nearly starts tearing up as she notes that nobody has ever done anything so kind for her before. He then strangles her to death and makes it abundantly clear he could not care less about murdering her. | |

Affably Evil: Whitey is quite charming at times. Most of the time he's closer to Faux Affably Evil though, especially after his son and mother die. | |

Arms Dealer: The biggest (attempted) donation of weapons to the IRA came from Bulger's gang. | |

In the movie Howie Winter is nowhere to be seen and Bulger is already running the Winter Hill gang in the mid-1970s. In Real Life Howie Winter wasn't arrested until 1979. | |

Based on a True Story | |
| Black Mass / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: More or less, but many changes were made for the film. Whitey's son actually died well before the time period of the movie. The scene where Whitey not-so-subtly threatens Connolly's wife is an invention. The newspaper article about Bulger being an informant actually came out several years before Bulger fled town and Connolly was arrested. It was met with broad skepticism in Boston and Connolly continued to work for the FBI for quite a while after.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
