A 16-year manhunt of Public Enemy No. 2 (No. 1 was, of course, Osama Bin Laden) resulted in the arrest of James “Whitey” Bulger” and the spectacular trial that brought the man to justice. Documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger examines Bulger’s life as a criminal and the tentacles of corruption that reached all the way up to the FBI in “Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger”
Joe Berlinger has been making documentaries for a quarter century, first coming to prominence with “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hill,” about the controversial West Memphis 3 and the heinous crimes they were purported to commit. He stays with the crime and punishment genre with “Whitey” and it is a true monster story.
