“The Departed” Movie

Today I saw the movie “The Departed”, which starred: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga, Alec Baldwin, James Badge Dale, David Patrick O'Hara, Mark Rolston, Kevin Corrigan, Anthony Anderson, Amanda Lynch, Tracey Paleo, Kristen Dalton, Tom Kemp and Gary Lockwood.

The storyline involved the following: “South Boston cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes under cover to infiltrate the organization of gangland chief Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). As Billy gains the mobster's trust, a career criminal named Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) infiltrates the police department and reports on its activities to his syndicate bosses. When both organizations learn they have a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin must figure out each other's identities to save their own lives.”

I give the movie a “A”, and the movie was griping and intense. Except for the ending, the movie script was excellent, and the performances of Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson were great.
