Scorsese's ''Goodfellas'' spirit comes back in this.

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2015)

This brought director Martin Scorsese back into the organized crime genre, which I loved, so much.
As for The Departed? Probably still to this day one of the best crime movies I have watched in the 2000's, to date. This movie is magnificent in every level.
Billy Costigan is hired as a undercover cop playing mole for the Irish crime boss Frank Costello, while already a high ranking cop Colin Sullivan who works in the same PD as Billy does, is actually the real mole for Frank Costello. The story was already brilliant (giving credit where it is due, this movie was inspired by Chinese movie Infernal Affair).
The acting was very good too, with Leonardo Dicaprio at his best in my opinion. I was never a huge Leo guy to be honest, but when I watched this my opinion changed very fast. The same thing for Matt Damon, he surprised me in this one too. Though the best of everyone in this movie has to be in my opinion Jack Nicholson as Franky Costello. Man, Jack is back and more psychotic than ever! He is one of the most charismatic actors I have ever seen. All and all, The Departed is a very thrilling movie that will leave you satisfied.
