“We deal in deception here. What we do not deal in is self-deception”. Welcome to the Irish mob in Boston of the early 2000s. As Billy Costigan (DiCaprio) goes undercover to infiltrate the villainous Frank Costello’s (Nicholson) gang, he has to deal with not only the crimes of the week, but his own self doubt as well. All the while, Colin Sullivan (Damon) works undercover for Costello as a cop. When it becomes clear each group as a mole, it becomes a countdown to some which be caught first.
With an all-star cast and an established director, The Departed was an easy pick for Best Picture in 2006. Does it still hold up today? Find out now on Cinema Cemetery.
