'The Departed' is set in South Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholson). While Billy is quickly gaining Costello's confidence, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that there's a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy -- and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.

    Scorsese Cements His Reputation With The Departed

    By Maestro  Jun 10, 2007

    Pros: Despite its two and a half hour run time, Scorsese easily keeps the audience's attention.

    Cons: The single disc version has no features whatsoever. If you want the extras, you have to buy that edition.

    Fast paced, ultra violent, profanity laden. All three words are great ways to describe this movie. Yet despite all of that, this is still a good movie. It is especially a great movie for young talent such as co-stars Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio..., and Matt Damon. In placing them with the likes of veteran actors Martin Sheen and Jack Nicholson. It proves why Martin Scorsese is one of the best directors of all time. The chemistry within this cast is beyond obvious. The cast's chemistry, along with the storyline itself makes for a movie that, despite its two and a half hour run time, is worth the length. Much unilke so many other directors, Scorsese is fully capable of keeping the audience's attention throughout the length of this movie. And like so many other movies of its ilk, there are enough twists and turns to make a person dizzy (though the camera work definitely helps do that, too). To his defense though, Scorsese does a wonderful job of wrapping up all of the loose ends, righ to the very end (which is very unexpected in itself). The famous director aside, fans of mob/gangster movies will fully embrace this movie. It is one that could go down in the annals of this genre as one of the best of all time. Read more Less
