Scorsese's Best?

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2008)

The Departed is an extremely well done suspense film about an internal struggle on both sides of the law. Leonardo DiCaprio gives an amazing performance as Billy Costigan who's struggle to keep his true identity hidden from his crazed boss Frank Costello(Nicholson), and Agent Sullivan(Damon) produces a edge-of-your-seat experience leading to an explosive conclusion. This movie most certainly deserves the recognition it received and Martin Scorsese never looked better with his return to the crime genre. The Departed could very well be Scorsese's best film and deserves a spot next to other great crime classics such as The Godfather and Goodfellas.
