Throwback Thursday Movie: The Departed


The Departed is definitely one of my top 10 movies of all the time. It has everything a good cops and gangsters movie needs, a compelling plot, interesting characters, intrigue and plot twists. The film was released in 2006 and directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is inspired by the 2002 Hong Kong movie “Infernal Affairs” however Scorsese adds his own style which can be see from the locations and theme. The plot centres around Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a member of the Irish Mob in Boston that has infiltrated the state police department and Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), a superstar police cadet who is sent undercover into the Mob. Both men are trying to remain true to themselves whilst living their double lives. Without spoiling anything, the tension ramps up progressively throughout the movie leaving you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. This is a must-see for anybody that loves crime and gangster movies.

Rating: 9.5/10
