The departed

[Zipporah Schumaker]

A classic film by Martin [Scorcese], a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, [Martin Sheen] and Alec Baldwin. Follows Boston mob member Frank [Costello] (Jack Nicholson), as he recruits an orphan (Damon) at a young age for his mob.

The movie itself focuses Damon as he works for Nicholson, but infiltrates the State Police, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who is working for the State Police but who infiltrates [Nicholsons] crew. The film revolves around each rat trying to figure out who the other one is, and is a great ride all the way. It won awards, and was recieved with overwhelmingly positive reviews by critics. The films theme focus on the line between authority and vigilante, cop and criminal, especially during the third act.

A film with possibly more usage of the word fuck than many films put together
