Pleasing visuals and astounding action. The Departed truly is one of the most well produced film i have witnessed in the last decade. Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the mob boss and eventual FBI informant Frank Costello was spine chilling and kept me guessing as to what he would do.
Matt Damon as the mole in the Special Investigation Unit of the Boston Police department. On the same premise the BPD put a "rat" in Costello's crew. Leonardo Di Caprio slowly loses his sanity as he gets deeper and deeper into the underworld of Boston's crime ring.
My favourite scene in the movie is the thrilling scene at a drug drop-off. Both moles in both camps are constantly updating their employers and helping them in their own way. It got incredibly tense and Billy Costigan (Di Caprio) was dicing with death by texting back to the chief of the SIU.
Martin Scorsese stepped out of his comfort zone with The Departed but it paid off in a big way.
