MCT:August 28, 2008In South Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime, young undercover cop Billy Costigan is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello. While Billy is quickly gaining Costello's confidence, Colin Sullivan, 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. Martin Scorsese's The Departed was a masterpiece, everything about this film was great. The acting by Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon and Leonardo DeCaprio was amazing. The action scenes in this film were great as well as exctitng to watch. If you like mafia films then you will like this one. One of Martin Scorsese's best.

The Departed Follows Rookie Cop Billy Costigan Who Becomes A Mole On The Inside of The Mob Run By Boss Frank Costello. Its His Job To Win Costello's Trust And Help His Detective Handlers Bring Costello Down. Meanwhile, Officer Colin Sullivan Has Everyone's Trust. No One Suspects He's Costello's Mole. The Departed Is A Classic Crime Thriller From Legendary FilmMaker Martin Scorsese. Leonardo DiCaprio And Matt Damon Give Extraordinary Performances, Theyre The Show-Stealers Here. Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, And Alec Baldwin Give Award Worthy Supporting Performances, And Vera Farmiga Makes A Very Memorable Appearance Here As Well. The Departed Is A Film So Damn Good, Its Almost Unbelievable. Few Films Are As Well Made And Suspenseful As This One. A Superb Work of Pure Genius. The Greatest Crime Thriller I Have Ever Seen. Brilliantly Made And Superbly Crafted.*
"Frank, how many of these guys have been with you long enough to be disgruntled, huh? Think about it. You don't pay much, you know. It's almost a fuckin' feudal enterprise. The question is, and this is the only question, who thinks that they can do what you do better than you?"*
"When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"*
"I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me."*
Martin Scorsese Is A Cinematic Genius And One of The Greatest FilmMakers Around. The Departed Is A Film That Will Stay With You Long After Its Over. Exceptional And Extraordinary In Every Way Imaginable. A Compelling, Mesmerizing, And Spellbinding Experience. No Words of Mine Can Describe How Amazing This Film Really Is. Leonardo DiCaprio Has Really Become One of The Most Gifted And Thrilling Actors Around, And Matt Damon Is Brilliant. The Entire Cast Is Award Worthy, Every Single Performance Is Phenomenal. Martin Scorsese Can Literally Do No Wrong. The Departed Is A Masterwork. A Perfect Example of Truly Flawless FilmMaking. A Wildly Compelling And Intensely Powerful Thriller. A Phenomenal, Incredible Achievement. I Love It. A Flawless Film... -
MCT:August 25, 2008To me this is how film making should be. The writing, dialogue, acting, plot, cinematography all top notch! I felt what Leo's character was feeling to the point where i thought I'd need a valuim to calm down. It was outstanding!

It was a very good movie. Matt Damon was clearly relishing the part of the informant to Jack Nicholson's character. Fantastic acting from all the cast but I found that it dragged in places and left me waiting for it to end.

Great cast, lots of violence. Leonardo DiCaprio was fantastic. Not sure what message the writers intended since everyone basically ends up dead. Liked the rat on the balconey in the last scene. Maybe that rats will inherit the Earth?

This movie kicks ass. I think its Marty's best since Goodfellas. Leo, Matt, Jack, and Mark gave great performances. Loved it. The best movie of the year so far.

The Departed has to be the best Jack Nicholson movie in years!! his performance in this film has to be his greatest ever film performance. The Departed is about the Irish Mafia in modern day Boston and the informant state detective who brings him down.

Brilliant performances from Matt Damon,Leonardo DiCaprio,
Alec Baldwin,Mark Wahlberg,Anthony Anderson,and Martin Sheen. Martin Scorsese directs his greatest ever gangster movie and as to be the best movie of 2006. The Departed is just as good as , goodfellas,Mean Streets,and Gangs of New York as one of the best !! -
MCT:August 13, 2008
Brilliant movie by Scorsese, actually has a plot. A thriller journey through the lives of two undercover cops on the opposite sides of the law. Great ensemble performance from some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

A great cast highlights a fantastic script and direction from one of the finest directors of our time.

Martin Scorsese continues to be best at making mob films. This movie has great action, great plot. great EVERYTHING. This is by far one of the best movies ever made.

It deserves every award it won. I like that Damon played the bad cop because that's not the kind of person he comes off as being. It was extremely intense and edgy.

LOL! Did you see his head get blown off at the end, SWEET! LOL
Great film tho, good acting by Leo -
MCT:August 8, 2008
I LOVED this movie. The only part I didn't like was the female; I didn't buy her being from Boston and I didn't really see any chemistry. That aside, the acting was brilliant. I realize that this is supposed to be a serious drama, but this movie has some of the best lines. I am not usually a Mark Wahlberg fan, but he had great dialogue and he did a good job delivering it. Matt Damon was good. Nichelson was genius as always and this was another good performance turned in by Leo Dicaprio.

A lesson for remakers: instead of westernizing it to the point of boredom, embrace it and make it your own.

MCT:August 6, 2008
Pretty good movie. The story has some kickass moments and the actors are excellent. Bad thing is... It is too long for it's own good.

MCT:August 5, 2008
this is one of the best drama crime & gangster moves to date. i enjoyed every minute of this movie. it has an amzing cast who all do very well especially leonardo dicaprio. i tell ya that boy might still be young actor but he is one of the youngest rising actors out there. it did brillant so did mark wahlberg, matt damon, & jack nicolson. i watch this movie almost everyday b/c it so entertaining & i never get bored watching it. i recomend for who hasnt seen this film yet go out & buy it. its worth every penny trust me.
