    Director Martin Scorsese returns to his trademark style with the violent, bruised, and bloody feature THE DEPARTED. Scorsese filched the basic storyline from Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak's masterful 2002 Hong Kong action film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS, which saw a policeman going undercover as a mob member and a mob member infiltrating the police force. Scorsese transfers the action to Boston, positioning Leonardo Di Caprio as undercover cop William Costigan and Matt Damon as undercover mobster Colin Sullivan. While Costigan and Sullivan get into plenty of nail-biting situations that almost reveal their true identities, Scorsese gradually unravels his strong supporting cast, including Jack Nicholson as Sullivan's mob boss, Frank Costello; Ray Winstone as Costello's meat-headed muscle; Mark Wahlberg as a hot-headed police sergeant; and Vera Farmiga as a love interest for both Damon and Di Caprio's characters.

The Departed is a visionary masterpiece brought by Director Martin Scorsese. Filled with intrigue, suspense, humor, and drama, the title has more than enough to offer for all tastes. From the very start of the movie you find yourself drawn into the seamy underworld of lies and double dealings as undercover officer Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) infiltrates mob overlord Costello's (Jack nicholson) world of crime and deciet. Opposite Costigan is the criminal Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) who has become a police officer at the behest of Costello to keep him advised of progress on the investigations into his dealings. As it becomes more and more obvious that there is a mole in the police, Costigan and Sullivan are forced to find the identity of the other before one of them is unmasked. Also featuring Martin Sheen as Costigan's superior and Mark Wahlberg as Sheen's tough-as-nails assistant.
