"All our wars were merry, and all our songs were sad." That Irish saying is an appropriate one for the rise and fall of FBI agent and South Boston native John Connolly. As depicted in the brooding true crime drama Black Mass, Connolly certainly found merriment during his war against the Boston Mafia, but ultimately his ended up a very sad song indeed.
And this is Connolly's (Joel Edgerton, sporting a flawless Boston accent) story more so than that of the higher-profile turn by Johnny Depp as the agent's prized informant and boyhood hero, gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. Whitey certainly commands plenty of screen time, but Connolly's fate is the tragic one as his hubris and twisted hero worship of tough guy Bulger blinds him to the painful truth. By the time Connolly realizes the tail is wagging the dog, he's in too deep and too corrupted to disentangle his fate from Bulger's.
