Fantastic Thriller/Crime movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2007)

Wow! Martin Scorsese is a genius. What an accomplishment, completely deserved of the various awards it was given and easily a future classic.
The movie tells the story of Frank Costello (Played by the magnificent award-worthy Jack Nicholson), a leader of the Irish Mafia, to which he places various people into the Masachusetts Police Academy, in order to gain high roles in authority. However, when Billy Costigan (Played by a surprisingly on-fire Dicaprio) goes undercover for the MPA, in order to infiltrate the Irish Mafia, both begin to smell a rat in each others organizations and things get tense and let it be said, violent.
Superbly done, intelligent, cleverly-crafted dialog and a genuinely simple story with underlying complexities makes The Departed an intense, intriguing thriller, coupled with a fantastic cast makes this a personal favorite and no doubt the feeling is mutual amongst many others.
Simply a must see.
