Drehbuch beim gleichnamigen Buch von Mark Mallouk abgeschöpft, allerdings mit neuem Ende, da Bulger zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung (2001) noch auf freiem Fuß war (verhaftet in 2011).BLACK MASS tells the true story of Whitey Bulger, the brother of a state senator and the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston, who became an FBI informant to take down a Mafia family invading his turf.
