Martin's back and he is not messing about

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2007)

Martin Scorsese back with his new film "The Departed", this time he has brought an all seeing cast along with him Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and finally if that isn't enough Alec Baldwin. Leonardo DiCaprio is back the third time with Scorsese (Gangs of New York and Aviator)and this has to be his best so far in DiCaprios career.
The story plots around the Massachusetts State Police (Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio,Matt Damon and Alec Baldwin) and the Irish Mafia (Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon(crooked)). DiCaprio is placed undercover in the Irish Mafia becoming Nicholson's right hand man, but DiCaprio is none aware of Damon's place as a crooked Police officer for the Irish Mafia and the same with Damon as he is none aware of DiCaprios place.
The story continues with Damon on the search from the inside to find the undercover officer, DiCaprios assignment is only known by Sheen and Wahlberg. And on the other side DiCaprio is on the search for the crooked officer, as you can see where the film is going i will stop now but Scorsese has yet again made another master piece.
It is still not up there with "Goodfellas" but let me tell you its very close.
