Hank Brennan, Whitey Bulger's defense attorney, told the following to People magazine.
"Johnny Depp might as well have been playing the Mad Hatter all over again as far as James Bulger is concerned. Hollywood greed is behind the rush to portray my client, and the movie missed the real scourge created in my client's case, the real menace to Boston during that time and in other mob cases around the country – the federal government's complicity in each and every one of those murders with the top echelon informant program."
Whitey Bulger himself turned town an interview request from Depp and has no plans in seeing the film.
