“The Departed” is an action movie directed by Martin Scorsese which finally gave the director an Oscar for best director after being nominated several times before with no victories. The film also won 3 other Oscars including best editing, best motion picture of the year and best writing or adapted screenplay. It is a movie that breaks the limits and tells a violent and bloody story between Irish mafia in Boston and the problems within the Massachusetts State Police and how both have several informants planted in each others organisations so that they can be secure and informed of everything that is happening.
Leonardo DiCaprio plays Billy Costigan, a new trooper of the Massachusetts state Police who is assigned to a special mission by Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) who are in charge of the SIU (Special Investigation Unit). The secret mission is to infiltrate as an undercover Costello’s gang after being 9 months on jail due to an aggression problem which is really a traumatic experience for anyone. Jack Nicholson plays Francis Costello, the boss of the Irish mafia who has been in the loop by the SIU and is closer than ever to be arrested therefore he also sends an undercover to infiltrate the SIU; Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) who tips off Costello every time he is in the loop or even being pursuit by his team mates of the SIU. After a while both organisations find out that a “rat” has infiltrated their group and the search for the “rat” becomes insane and bloodier than ever.
This film is an excellent representation of how the battles between the mafias and polices through the entire world are so aggressive, violent and bloody. The violence is perfectly portrayed by Marin Scorsese as the film is perfectly shot to show the dark side of the world. It is a movie that will impact everyone who watches it because of the violence and the final message of the film: the world is full of rats that will do anything to survive and to be with the ones they think is best. I truly recommend this film for people who are mature enough to see the true violent world.

I liked it a lot!
we didnt see it....................................................................
sounds great!!!!
This is excellently written and full of clever uses of language. There are a few grammar errors but just for the sheer enthusiasm and convincing nature of your article, I think it deserves an A- which is a SEP 10. Really well done.
