Reviews for Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI and a Devil's Deal (Film Tie-In)

* Black Mass succeeds admirably in showing just how fragile FBI integrity can be when the good guys lose sight of the truth, the rules, and the law Washington Post * A jaw-dropping, true-life tale of how two thugs corrupted the FBI Baltimore Sun * Black Mass should prompt a reevaluation of the uses and misuses of informers by law-enforcement officials throughout the country New York Times Book Review * A work of rare lucidity, high drama, journalistic integrity and plain courage -- James Carroll, author of An American Requiem
