My favorite film of the year!

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2006)

Martin Scorsese's newest film, "The Departed," will be sure to take audiences on a thrill ride they won't soon forget. The film has a great ensemble cast that's headed by: Leonardo DiCaprio (Billy Costigan), Matt Damon (Colin Sullivan), and Jack Nicholson (Frank Costello).
"The Departed" is a character driven piece that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The film follows an undercover cop, DiCaprio, as he attempts to infiltrate a deadly mob ring lead by Nicholson. Not to be out done by the police, Nicholson installs a rat of his own (Damon) to keep him abreast on police activity. The movie evolves into a cat and mouse tale like no other, with each side trying to determine who's the rat.
For Scorsese fan they will be delighted to see that the man has not lost his touch. The films brilliant editing and camera work will make sure that your viewing experience will not be a dull one. Along with, the film comes with a great soundtrack, invocative of the streets of Boston.
Great dialogue, directing, and performances make "The Departed" a must see film. Action, drama, comedy, this movie has it all. After seeing "The Departed" I cannot wait to see it again, and I encourage everyone to go see for themselves.
