If someone were to know just the cast of stellar actors in this film, that would be reason enough to watch The Departed. Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Mark Wahlberg did an amazing job at portraying violent men, each with something to prove or protect. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this game of cat mouse type of movie takes place in Boston where the police force has decided to place a mole within the highest ranking violent mob around. Frank Costello (Nicholson) is the head man in charge of said mob, who has also placed a mole within the police department. Billy (DiCaprio) was raised around violence and criminal activity, because most of the men in his family were apart of the mob scene. Even though Billy is nothing like his family when he joins the police department, he will soon have to follow in their footsteps to go undercover as the newest bad boy under Frank Costello.
Collin (Damon) was raised by Frank like he was his own son, therefor it's no surprise to the viewer when Collin joins the police force as a mole for Frank. The entire film is full of suspense, action, violence, and superb acting by everyone involved. Even Vera Farmiga, who plays the love interest of more than one main character, does an excellent job. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates a thrilling movie with hardcore criminals and silent heroes.
