  Martin Scorsese directs THE DEPARTED
Opening October 6th


"The Departed" is set in South Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholson). While Billy is quickly gaining Costello's confidence, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that there's a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy – and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
The Last King of Scotland review (in Film )

Forest Whitaker simply captivates the screen as Idi Amin in a commanding performance that’s worthy of a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

The Queen review (in Film )

Playing "The Queen" with compassion and force, Helen Mirren is the heart and soul of the film.

The Guardian review (in Film )

Another buddy flick filled with so many cliched scenarios.

Black Gold review (in Film )

A perplexing expose’ documentary directed by Nick and Marc Francis

All The King's Men review (in Film )

This pretentious, meandering rehash devotes more attention to recreating the ambiance of a bygone era than to addressing, in a meaningful manner, the myriad moral questions it raises.

Jet's Li Fearless review (in Film )

The stunts are nowhere near as spectacular as your typical Bruce Lee high attrition-rate adventure because the special effects are mostly old school instead of state-of-the-art.


The Black Dahlia review (in Film )

In seeing this film, you’ll end up going to Blockbusters afterwards to find films of yesteryear when looking for a good film noir.
