Martin Scorsese is the best mob director ever! He just showing off with this one!

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2007)

The Departed is Marty's comeback mob movie and it an amazing movie! Leo, Matt, Jack, and Mark give great performances. It's now won for best picture, best adapted screenplay, best editing, and best director for Martin in the year of 2006! And let me tell you, it's about damn time that Marty won. The only thing it didn't win was supporting actor for Mark Whalberg who plays a Sergant in the Boston Staties. The movie is about a rookie cop (Leonardo DiCaprio), who joins the Staties, only to be assigned to go undercover as a mole in the mob. Jack Nicholson is the mob boss who takes in Leonardo. Still, Jack's got his own rat in the Staties, Matt Damon, who rises fast and informs Jack what he needs to know. Damon is trying to find the rat, himself, in the Staties. Jack trying to find the rat in his outfit. And Leo is trying to take down Jack while staying alive. The directing is great, the editing is top-notch, the score is terrific, plus the acting is amazing. But, in the end, all the starting cast die but Whalberg. It is a great movie that reign above all others. While not being as good as Goodfellas, it certainly is up high on Scorsese's list of movies. Get this movie at all costs! 10/10
