BROOKLINE – Rosalind Sukerman-Colon stood atop a blue camping chair, angling for the best view of her favorite actor, Johnny Depp, as he and other stars made their way down Harvard Street to the Coolidge Corner Theater for a special screening of the James "Whitey" Bulger biopic, "Black Mass."
The latest Boston-based mobster movie hits close to home this time, as Hollywood portrays arguably the most notorious criminal the Hub has ever produced, James "Whitey" Bulger.
"Black Mass" doesn't try to get too cute depicting the federal informant, mobster and convicted murderer from South Boston. Johnny Depp, playing the lead role, doesn't drop his Rs or make references to the "packie" down the block. His FBI handler, John Connolly, played by Joel Edgerton, presents the right amount of cockiness, peacocking and puffing out his chest constantly when things are going good and cursing up a storm when they turn bad.
