Description

Rookie cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) grew up in crime. That makes him the perfect mole, the man on the inside of the mob run by boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). It’s his job to win Costello’s trust and help his detective handlers (Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen) bring Costello down. Meanwhile, SIU officer Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) has everyone’s trust. No one suspects he’s Costello’s mole. How these covert lives cross and collide is at the ferocious core of the widely acclaimed The Departed. Martin Scorsese directs, guiding a cast for the ages in a visceral tale of crime and consequences. This is searing, can’t-look-away filmmaking: like into the eyes of a con - or a cop - with a gun.

    I was mesmerised by the story, the production, direction, acting, all of it. This movie restored my faith in Scorsese as a director when he directed Gangs of New York. That movie was abysmal and preachy. ‘The departed’ is sublime. I love it.
  • Not a good buy

    When I buy a film from Apple I expect good quality and the full feature. Unfortunately after downloading this film I’ve relished that a lot of the original film has been cut out and some scenes are not in the order of the original film. The result is a confusing and disappointing film to watch. Don’t waste your money on this. Buy the DVD for a few pounds and enjoy the film as it should be watched. Poor.
  • Superb must watch
