| Description Director Martin Scorsese returns to his trademark style with the violent, bruised, and bloody feature THE DEPARTED. Scorsese filched the basic storyline from Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak's masterful 2002 Hong Kong action film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS, which saw a policeman going undercover as a mob member and a mob member infiltrating the police force. Scorsese transfers the action to Boston, positioning Leonardo DiCaprio as undercover cop William Costigan and Matt Damon as undercover mobster Colin Sullivan. While Costigan and Sullivan get into plenty of nail-biting situations that almost reveal their true identities, Scorsese gradually unravels his strong supporting cast, including Jack Nicholson as Sullivan's mob boss, Frank Costello; Ray Winstone as Costello's meat-headed muscle; Mark Wahlberg as a hot-headed police sergeant; and Vera Farmiga as a love interest for both Damon and Di Caprio's characters.

Top Reviews  Awesome Movie 36 of 38 people found this review helpful. Once again,Scorsese baffled the audience again with another mind twisting, mob griping modern goodfella's. Everything from the soundtrack to dialauge, the movie was the closest definition to perfect American movie as humanly possible. As if the movie couldn't possibly be better, the plot twists with an extravagant, very unexpected turn that just thickens the plot. Jack Nickelson does yet again another outstanding acting performance, dropping humorous lines, but very serious when necessary. Leonardo Decaprio finally plays the non pretty boy role in this film (for the most part) and finally shows off his good acting skills. Review ID: 10000000003597907 Was this review helpful?

Report this review  Dreary gangster flickWhile the central premise is interesting, and the acting excellent, I could not see this through to the end. It was unremittingly violent, and dark in tone, little to break the gloom! Review ID: 10000000008378941 Was this review helpful?
