The Departed- Movie Review
Real- Life Corruption
Director Martin Scorsese’s movie The Departed is a suspenseful action packed drama. Filled with guns, crime, violence, good guys, bad guys, and a twisted mix of corruption, this film will keep you on the edge of your seat awaiting absolute chaos. The Departed definitely meets all criteria needed to have a successful drama/thriller, and with some good ole’ organized crime it’s a good one at that. Good guys, Bad guys, violence, and some graphic reality the film has left nothing out, really causing the viewer to think its realistic. Not only did the writers come up with a plausible story line but they couldn’t have assigned a better acting crew for the characters than the men they choose. Starring actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and damsel Vera Farmiga all play astonishing roles, really adding a polishing touch to the film.
What kind of action movie wouldn’t have a good guy and a bad buy? Now that just wouldn’t be American. Leonardo DeCaprio and Matt Damon do a great job filling these two roles. Leonardo DeCaprio plays one of the main acts as Billy. Billy his completed the Massachusetts State Police academy and is given the opportunity of an interview with the Massachusetts State P.D., little did he know this was going to lead him to life threatening situations and eventually be the death of him. During the interview Billy is antagonized about his childhood and teenage years, being questioned if he were in this business to serve the public, or to be an insider for a group of family rooted Irish mobsters. Billy eventually agrees to a position as an undercover agent, working to bring down the P.D’s number one mo kingpin Frank Costello and the rest of his crew. Then there’s Matt Damon who plays a very deceiving role as a heroic police agent known as detective Collin Sullivan. Collin Sullivan has also gone through an interview with the Massachusetts State Police. Unaware that Mr. Sullivan is their prime
