THE DEPARTED

THE DEPARTED released in 2006, and is about Boston state police trying to crack down on an Irish gang, but whilst there are rats on both sides. The gang and the police attempt to figure out who is the rat in each of their groups, as tensions begin to rise. Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon star in this dramatic-crime-thriller, directed by Martin Scorsese.

WHAT I THINK: This is personally one of my favourite movies, and I have seen it quite a few times. You are always on the edge of your seat when watching this masterpiece of the crime-thriller genre - the stakes are always high, and the atmosphere is very tense. Surprisingly, there is a hint of dark comedy to this movie (particularly in Jack Nicholson), which make it just that little bit better. All the actors do exceedingly well with their roles, leaving the movie in my eyes as one of the best.

I rate it 9.5/10
