An outstanding review of the mafia in Boston

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2011)

When I first listen about this film, I thought it going to be a classic police persecution, the good cop against the thieve. But it's not, it's all the opposite.
Actually, it's the good thieve against the bad cop. The departed, the infiltrated. But it don't stop in there. You can realize that the police it's so corrupt that you can find more criminals inside the department than outside. And also the criminals are traitors with their own entourage.
It's gorgeous to see a complete cast, Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his best performances. Matt Damon as you can't ever going to see him again and a full surprise with Mark Wahlberg.
Martin Scorsese took everything he has learn in all his latest films and mix them up in a criminal story. You can find a mafia (Good Fellas), the betrayal (Casino), the love (The age of Innocence), the sin (The last temptation of Christ), and some shooting (Taxi Driver).
It's not his best film, but one of the best films of all the American film industry.
With an improbable end, this is one of the top ten Criminal Films.
