The Departed is the most catching and entraining film I’ve ever seen. The biggest thing that surprised me in this movie was Leonardo DiCaprio. I think it was one of his best roles, he has ever played. This movie caught my attention already at the begging of the movie when the opening credits started and it didn’t let go until the end of the movie. Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon were two men from opposite sides of the law. They were undercover within the Massachusetts Police and the Irish mafia. While the discoveries are pending Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon are send out to find their enemy's identities.
The movie starts with centering on two police cadets from the Boston Police Department (Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio). The men go totally different paths but each are facing the same goal. The Boston police force is already many years trying to get a powerful Irish mafia, the police department tries to put a secret agent, who will see what the Irish mafia is heading for. Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young cop looking to make a name for him in the world of law enforcement. Collin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is a boy that grew up without his parents and became a successful street-smart criminal who has successfully entered the police department and reporting all the information to the Irish mafia boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). Costigan is assigned the task to start working with Frank Costello and get into their guarded mafia circle. Sullivan got the responsibility to inform Frank Costello before Costigan and his police get al the information they needed and everything goes out of Costello’s hands. With the risk constantly rising and time quickly running out for the undercover cop and his criminal counterpart, each man must work fully to be first who to find the identity of the enemy cop before his identity is uncovered by the other.
After seeing the Departed I thought I have to go and see another movie directed by Martin Scorsese. I think this movie is the art work in his carrier. It has a great plot, many famous characters and perfect music, all I could say that this movie has everything that should be in a good movie. Leonardo gave an outstanding performance without any mistakes. Matt Damon played the corrupted cop but still played a wonderful role. Jack Nicholson has this unforgettable dry humor and I think that to this movie it fits perfectly. The characters worked together excellently and I think it was a great success. If someone is thinking what movie they should go see, it’s definitely this one because you have no idea what you are missing!

Some movie quotes:
Frank Costello:“I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.”
Frank Costello: “When I was your age they used to say you could become cops or criminals. What I'm saying to you is this... When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?”
