   Is Black Mass a gangster movie?

   • Directed by Scott Cooper (“ Crazy Heart,” “ Out of the Furnace “), “Black Mass” has been described as derivative work that leans too hard on savage violence, talk of loyalty and honor, profane banter and other elements familiar to fans of Martin Scorsese, whose gangster films provide much of its DNA. This is all true.
