Nominated for Best Picture, The Departed is a thrilling story of cops and robbers, and spies on either side. The masterful Martin Scorsese reworking of Infernal Affairs features a terrific ensemble cast, and a superb script.
"The Departed is a stunning, multilayered work of violent art. The punches aren't pulled, but this film is more than just bullet-deep. It's a cerebral, yet primitive cops-and-robbers drama made with absolute tightness, and it brings Scorsese back to his rightful bloody throne. Goodfellas fans, rejoice
