Martin Scorsese is one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema. The Departed actually won best picture in 2006. And amazingly it is only his fifth best movie. But over his long career with several critically acclaimed movies, The Departed was the his first movie to win best picture at the Academy Awards. Based off of a Chinese movie by the name "Infernal Affairs." The film revolves around an undercover cop played by Leonardo DiCaprio who infiltrates the Irish mafia in order to find a rat on the police force played by Matt Damon. And while all this is going on Leo is also gathering evidence in an attempt of trying to put a mob boss away played by Jack Nicholson. With a twist a couple twists you won't see coming The Departed is a nonstop thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie. And on top of that every actor in this movie gives an incredible performance, the best of a couple of the actors careers. A mature, violent, and vulgar movie laced with dark comedy, The Departed is a fantastically written movie that finally got Martin Scorsese the Oscar that he deserved.
