Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Rookie cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) grew up in crime. That makes him the perfect mole, the man on the inside of the mob run by boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). It's his job to win Costello's trust and help his detective handlers (Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen) bring Costello down. Meanwhile, SIU officer Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) has everyone's trust. No one suspects he's Costello's mole. How these covert lives cross, double-cross and collide is at the ferocious core of the widely acclaimed The Departed. Martin Scorsese directs, guiding a cast for the ages in a visceral tale of crime and consequences. This is searing, can't-look-away filmmaking: like staring into the eyes of a con — or a cop — with a gun.

Review:

"Martin Scorsese's cubistic entertainment about men divided by power, loyalty and their own selves finds the director back on the mean streets where he belongs." New York Times

Review:

"Scorsese's relaxed energy infuses the film with excitement in every frame, thus elevating a gangster story to the level of tragedy." Hollywood Reporter

Review:

"The Departed, which screenwriter William Monahan cleverly adapted from the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs, crackles right along, stopping only long enough for Scorsese's signature bursts of explosive violence." Washington Post

Review:

"It is funny, shocking and brutal, and it's filled with brilliant performances, with some of our best actors sinking their teeth into a great screenplay from William Monahan." Richard Roeper

Special Features:

Bonus Disc Includes: * 9 Additional Scenes with Introductions by Director Martin Scorsese * Feature-Length TCM Career Profile Scorsese on Scorsese * The Story of the Boston Mob: The Real-Life Gangster Behind Jack Nicholson's Character * Crossing Criminal Cultures: How Little Italy's Crime and Violence - 2

This movie is grand. I know folks who walked out of the theater. I also know others who loved it to no end. I fall more towards the latter, but not quite as extreme. Being a large Scorsese fan, I had high hopes for this one, since it seemed a return to what he does best: crime in the city. And boy, is it ever. Good Cop, bad cop, undercover cop, crooked cop, head cop, dead cop... It's about police and the mob, basically.

All in all, The Departed stands as one completely engaging drama, with some amazing acting and cinematography. Martin Scorsese is totally cool in my book. Or DVD.
