The Departed (DVD)

While the central premise is interesting, and the acting excellent, I could not see this through to the end. It was unremittingly violent, and dark in tone, little to break the gloom!

Absolutely brilliant film, plenty of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Matt Damon and Leonarda DiCaprio are blinding in this film - really really enjoyable.

You think you know what's going on but then you don't.

Highly recommend anyone to watch this film.

Its the film that finally got Martin the Oscar he should have had 5 times over.

Great film Even better in Blu Ray.

great film, well written and directed. keeps you on the edge of your seat, a real thinking film. I sometimes found it too complicated to watch and wished it wasn't so back and forwards but my other half loved it

saw it at the flicks, needed another look. i was even better the second time round. jack nicholson at his best, good twisted plot. one liners worth hearing.

Really enjoyed this film. It was 151 minutes long. It had a very good cast in it & was well directed by Martin Scorsese. It also has interesting an story on the Boston Mob and the gangsters. Definate good viewing.

A real good Saturday Night Movie so enjoy and crack open a bottle of wine or tin of the black stuff.
Cheers

DONT USE THE RULES -THERE NOT FOR YOU THERE FOR THE FOOLS AND YOUR A FOOL IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT! SO USE THE RULES YOU STUPID FOOLS!!!

GREAT ACTION FILM WITH CRIME AND VIOLENCE SCENES.. LOVED THE ACTING OF ALL THE ACTORS.. LEONARDO DICAPRIO IS EXCELLENT..DEF
ONE OF HIS TOP FILMS.. THIS FILM HAS MORE TWISTS THAN A MAYPOLE..HAS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEATS, GETS THE HEART PUMPING..A FILM THAT CAN BE WATCHED OVER AND OVER AND NEVER LOSES ITS APPEAL..

Stunning performance from both Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. I thought this was a brilliant movie because it was clever, the acting was of high standard and the idea in general was great, definitely watch this movie!

Absolutely brilliant film. Nicholson at his best. Damon and Dicaprio are really good as well. Great story line and punchy all the way through. Top film.

it was a true story,,, had watched the start of it on sky n never seen the end! had looked in music/dvd stores for it but nvr could find it!

Having seen this film in the cinema and thoroughly enjoyed it i decided i would like to add it to my film collection so that i would be able to watch it whever i fancied.I decided to look on ebay as i didn't want to pay too much. I was delighted to purchase it at a reasonable price,and had no problem completing the sale. The product arrived promptly and well packaged. It was as advertised and i am delighted with my purchase.

With a cast containing more stars than the Milky Way, a unique and powerful script and a legendary director, who finally received the recognition he deserved when Oscar came to live on his mantlepiece, how can anyone deny the quality that his film exudes? Great entertainment!

Martin Scorsese directed this character-driven crime drama that stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. Frank Costello (Nicholson) is a Boston mob boss the state police want to bring down. They give trooper Billy Costigan (DiCaprio) an elaborate cover, and he infiltrates Costello's inner circle. But Costello has a dirty cop, Colin Sullivan (Damon), looking out for his interests. The narrative engine is the conflict between Costigan and Sullivan, which is resolved in a climactic showdown

A highly recommended film to watch.. This is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. The story is based around two different kids and how they both join the police force. One of the kids grows up to be a dirty cop, while the other one turns out to be the good cop with a twist! My review won't do this film justice. All I can say is you must watch it!

Brilliant acting, fast paced adventure, bought it as a present for my 18 year old son, he loved it.If you like adventure/thrillers, you'll love this film.

This film has unecessary violence and for half of the film I got mixed up in the characters as they both appeared very similar in looks. No real storyline so I would suggest avoiding and spend you time watching somthing more interesting and entertaining.

The Departed




Martin Scorsese's underworld thriller The Departed opens with a voice-over from its larger-than-life villain, a Boston crime lord played by Jack Nicholson who declares, "I don't want to be a product of my environment; I want my environment to be a product of me." It's the most personal statement in this highly commercial movie: Scorsese's most popular and critically acclaimed films have defined the violent urban drama (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas), but through a series of ambitious and eclectic projects he's resisted being defined by it himself (The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Kundun). One needn't be a ruthless mobster or a restless film director to understand these antithetical urges -- we all yearn to belong somewhere, but that sense of belonging always exacts a price, usually in the form of allegiance. If ever a Scorsese film was one for the fans, The Departed is it. You can just imagine him lining up the next head-splat gunshot scene, muttering, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

A remake of the 2002 Hong Kong cult hit Infernal Affairs, The Departed transplants the action to South Boston, but the location doesn't really matter; the two operative cultures here are the state police and a local mob run by the monstrous old-timer Frank Costello (Nicholson). The complicated plot involves two young spies, each groomed for years to infiltrate the opposing side. Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), a promising but volatile young cadet with family ties to Costello, is recruited by the upstanding Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) for a years-long undercover mission: he'll be convicted of felony assault and expelled from the force, and after serving a prison term he'll work his way into Costello's gang. But long before this plot is hatched, Costello is positioning his own rat: Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a loyal kid from the neighborhood who becomes a state trooper and wins an assignment to a special investigative unit on organized crime. Neither spy knows the other's identity, and as each settles into his secret lifehe begins to lose track of himself.

It's a classic doppelganger setup: Sullivan and Costigan may be mortal enemies, but they have more in common with each other than with anyone else. Sullivan is orphaned and living with his grandmother when Costello comes into his life, and the mobster's patronage gives him a sense of place that's worth more than any amount of easy money. Costigan had spent his childhood shuttling between his mother's North Shore home and his father's low-rent digs in Southie, and for him a state police uniform is a symbol of stability. Both young men identify strongly with their respective father figures, and each is confronted with the paradoxical situation of defining himself by posing as something he's not. ("We deal in deception," Queenan tells Costigan. "What we do not deal with is self-deception.") For each character the rub comes when his patriarch is suddenly removed from the equation and his link to his original identity is erased -- the cop suddenly finds himself mired in a life of crime, and the criminal is safely ensconced in the law enforcement community.

With its welter of double crosses, The Departed is completely engrossing, a master class in suspense. But in moral terms it may be the least involving story that Scorsese -- an artist much preoccupied with morality -- has ever taken on. Costigan spends years working for Costello, un

EXCELLENT!! Fantastic film, well acted, great storyline and with some top names! Very well acted and with a great twist! SUPERB

Scorsese, Nicholson, DiCpario, Damon, Sheen. The list says it all and certainly needs no introduction. This is Goodfellas II. Watch it.
