Incredible Crime Movies That Were Based On True Events

Black Mass (2015)

Released in 2015, Black Mass is about a major Irish crime boss named James “Whitey” Bulger who was known for his violent crimes in South Boston during the 1970s. He later then went on to become an FBI informant to take down a rival mafia family that was invading his territory. As it turns out, the film is based on a 2001 book of the same name inspired by the true events of Whitey Bulger, the leader of Boston Winter Hill Game and South Boston’s most infamous violent criminal in history. It is noted that the film sticks close to the facts and embellishes or fictionalizes little to nothing about the true story.
