Description

'The Departed' stars Jack Nicholson as Francis "Frank" Costello, an Irish mob boss in Boston. The police are trying to build a case up against him and plant an undercover cop, William Costigan Jr (Leonardo DiCaprio) into his team to give them tip-offs on his actions and whereabouts. Frank has also got an informant in the police named Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), who gives them tips on what the police are up to and diverts their actions from catching Frank. When both sides of the law realize the situation, Costigan and Sullivan attempt to discover the other's true identity before being found outmore… themselves.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite films of all time. Scorsese is one of the best directors ever with such classics as Goodfellas, Casino, Gangs of New York, Cape Fear, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver (I could go on) but The Departed is definitely the best he has ever directed. The story is so tight and extremely tense with some real edge-of-your-seat moments, especially when each side realises there is a rat on the teams. It's also very fast paced and for a two and a half hour film it doesn't get slow or boring for a second as there are just so many great characters and so much going on.

There's also so many top actors in this film as well with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Ray Wintston and Anthony Anderson all of which give possibly their best performances of their careers.

The Blu Ray quality is one of the best I've ever seen and highly recommend paying the bit extra to watch it in HD as it looks so much better than on the upscaled DVD version.

Overall this is one of the best films ever and would definitely be in my top 10 films of all time. It's the kind of film I could watch and then at the end watch it again as it is just so good. This is one film that is at the highest standard for everything - story, acting, direction, sound, picture and is just an absolute 10/10 masterpiece.
