The Departed [Blu-ray]
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, double-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 staring into the eyes of a con - or a cop - with a gun. more

What a movie.............
Leonardo DiCaprio has come a long way in acting. He just surprises me as I wasn't a big fan of him back then. He did an excellent job and movie was terrific,.

Amazing gangster movie
This and the movie it was based on are some of the best gangster movies ever made. I think this movie has revived the genre that has largely been stagnating as of late. Everyone's performance is amazing. This and the Godfather are the two best gangster movies ever made.

Waited almost 2 years to see this--It lived up to the hype
This movie is not light and airy and fun. It is intense, violent and masterfully told. "The Departed" is not generally my type of movie, but it was well done. Here's what I liked: 1) the plot was not predictable (even for someone who usually foresees the end in the first 5 minutes of a...

Infernal Affairs indeed.
The Departed (Martin Scorsese, 2006)One of the things I was really, really hoping would happen with Martin Scorsese's remake of the fantastic Asian film Infernal Affairs would be that Scorsese would try to make the film a little less confusing during the opening half-hour or so, when we have very...

A Great Format For A Great Movie
The title of this review pretty much says it all. There is not a lot of action in this flick, but the music is killer. The blu-ray audio enhances this. Visually, on my system, the blacks are black and the colors are brilliant. I highly recommend this movie for blu-ray.

I had such consideration...
...for Martin Scorcese that I feel very sorry for his precocious senility. I can't think of any other explanation (there is no excuse) for mistaking di Caprio for an actor (which is about as ludicrous as mistaking McDos for restaurants). And, since he's persisting in polluting the screens with...
