The Departed

The Departed is made by Martin Scorsese, who has made numerous classical action movies, i.e. Casino and Goodfellas. The Departed will also go in the history as a classical movie, and the chances for this are even more increased when it won Oscars.

The movie is inspired by the South-Korean flick “Infernal Affairs” and the life of a previous Boston-based gangster who is at number two on FBI’s most wanted list. The story deals around some characters, and there are among others two characters which makes the story intense. These two characters are Leonardo and Matt Damon’s roles, which are playing under covers. One of them working for the mafia gangster and the other one for the police.


he story is well told with fast dialogues and nice execution. I think people will like more of this movie when they watch it next time, because multiple stories are told parallel with fast clips. This makes some confusion some times, but next time there wouldn’t be any confusion since you know what is going on.

Rating: 5/6 of 6
