The type of movie they don't make anymore (Spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2006)

All I have to say is, I left the theater in awe. This is a movie that will be talked about for years to come. Ranking and maybe even surpassing Scorsese's "Goodfellas", "The Departed" has so much going for it.
Number one, is Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello. Is there a better actor than Nicholson working now? After you see this movie, if you weren't convinced that Nicholson is the master, maybe you need to quit watching movies. The man is pure evil, and is absolutely menacing. Every scene Nicholson is in magnetic. Scoreses' use of casual violence is always shocking, and this is no exception. Life ends suddenly and violently in the world of "The Departed"
The rest of the cast is superb. Matt Damon plays a thoroughly corrupt State police investigator who is in mobster Costello's pocket, feeding him information from his position as a mob detective.
The other main character is played by Leonardo Dicaprio in the role of his career. Playing Billy Costigan, a neighborhood kid who is plucked from the State police academy to infiltrate Costello's crew. Playing the role of a man on the edge, and in constant fear of his life if he is discovered, Dicaprio nails it. There are many twists and turns in this great movie, and I don't want to give away too much, but this movie is one for the ages!
