The Departed
2006 · TMDB 8.2
Directed by Martin Scorsese
To take down South Boston's Irish Mafia, the police send in one of their own to infiltrate the underworld, not realizing the syndicate has done likewise. While an undercover cop curries favor with the mob kingpin, a career criminal rises through the police ranks. But both sides soon discover there's a mole among them.
Why it matters
Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning remake of Infernal Affairs, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon as moles on opposite sides of the law. It reimagines the Hong Kong thriller with Boston grit.
