Summary:
Two men in the Boston State Police, Billy Costigan (Leonardo Di Caprio) and Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) -- each of them is undercover. Billy is officially evicted from the police academy, jailed for a short time and planted undercover in Irish crime-lord Frank Costello’s (Jack Nicholson) gang. Only two men know Billy’s identity -- Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) and Oliver Queenan (Martin Sheen). And Colin is undercover for Frank Costello -- he is his informer within the State Police.
The Departed DVD Cover
They live the life of each other -- Colin climbs the ranks in the State Police, lives in a nice apartment and dates attractive psychologist Madolyn (Vera Farmiga), while Billy lives as one of Costello’s henchmen -- and gets close to Madolyn as well.
Life becomes ever more precarious for Billy and Colin when both the State Police and Costello suspect there’s a mole in their team.
THE DEPARTED deals with the classic themes of identity and betrayal, brilliantly cutting the very different but all the same similar lifes of Billy and Colin against each other in parallel montages, relationships, the Irish soul and justice -- even minor mistakes are not allowed, and everybody gets what he deserves in THE DEPARTED.
Review:
The Departed is one of the best movies I have ever watched, thrilling filled with action, the actors are great, specially Jack Nickelson!
My Honest Rating: 9.5/10
