    Yesterday, a nice little two-bedroom apartment in Santa Monica went up for rent. The previous tennant - James “Whitey” Bulger - vacated rather suddenly when the feds arrested the notorious Boston mobster at that apartment three years ago. Bulger is now serving a prison term of two life sentences plus five years for 11 murders, drug trafficking, racketeering, money laundering and extortion. In his new film, documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger explores whether the FBI was complicit in Bulger’s crimes.
