If you hate to hear about people breaking rules, then you better stay away from Black Mass.
Whitey Bulger, a notorious Boston gangster, has a secret: he's an informant for the FBI. And not just any informant. The informant. To protect their top dog, FBI agents John Connolly and John Morris do a lot of suspicious things: forging paperwork, burying intel, and in some cases even leaking information to Bulger. That's got to be against regulation.
Although government agencies like the FBI are supposed to be bound to the law without qualification, Black Mass shows how quickly the law can be tossed aside.
