Simply thrilling

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2006)

"The Departed" was an excellent demonstration of a good-cop bad-cop scenario, and is wonderfully portrayed by it's all-star cast consisting of Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson just to name a few. This movie is a gruesome thriller about an edgy man named Billy Costigan who joins the police department and goes undercover for them, to check out one of the cities most notorious criminal groups led by Frank Costello. Meanwhile in the department, there's a top-ranking cop by the name of Colin Sullivan who is so successful because he works for Frank Costello and gets all his leads from him. This movie is a movie of cat and mouse in which roles are changed and the tables turn many times that just lead up to a thrilling and extremely action packed climax. From the grimy streets of Boston to the dank and dangerous underground deals and jobs, this money lives up to expectations through and through. The movie is not advised for anybody who gets squeamish around blood and offended by excessive swearing
