Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2006)

Oh, my God, what an incredible film! Of course, how could we ever expect anything less from Martin Scorcesse?! He is so brilliant and has brought us another instant mafia classic! He's working with the big stars today, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen, Anthony Anderson, you get the idea. The Departed lives up to it's reviews, plus more!
It's about a man named William, played by DiCaprio, he's trying his best to be a cop, but do to his violent past and family, is put on probation and can only join if he does a special assignment for Oliver, Martin Sheen, and Digman, Mark Wahlberg. That is to spy on Frank, played by Jack Nicholson, the leader of the mafia in Boston, and find out information that will put him behind bars. But there is one other problem, there is a rat in the FBI gang that William is trying to get into, Colin is informing Frank that there is a rat in his mafia gang and will capture William. Who's the true rat? You'll just have to see!
This movie is amazing on so many levels, it's not just the acting or picture, it's the story. It kept me going 'till the end, I just loved every scene. I think my favorite was how one of the mobsters, not knowing that Leo is the rat, tells him to meet them at an address where the unknown rat is with the chief of the FBI is, and he gives Leo the wrong address accidentally, but... well, if you've seen the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about, but I don't want to give any spoilers.
This is without a doubt the best movie of 2006 hands down! Has anyone else noticed why movies are getting better this year? They are being directed by the classic artist: Martin Scorcesse and Francis Ford Coppola! The real artists, they are incredible and are bringing us terrific films! Please, like I said, see this movie the theater! You will not be disappointed!
