Peter Travers raves about Martin Scorsese and his cast in 'The Departed.'

The Departed is a 2006 film that follows three men: a crooked cop, the Irish mob boss he works for, and a straight cop that goes undercover to reveal them both. Based in Boston, this film covers the lies the two cops tell and the struggles they have keeping themselves afloat. Remake of the Hong Kong movie Internal Affairs and based on Irish mobster Whitey Bulger, who was still on the run at the time of the film.

Though he's 73-years-old and one of our greatest living filmmakers, Martin Scorsese shows no signs of slowing down or resting on his laurels. He's producing Vinyl for HBO, is producing no less than six movies in various stages of production and pre-production, and his directorial effort, Silence, about Jesuit priests in Japan, drops later this year. The Departed, the film that finally won him a Best Director Academy Award, is a modern crime classic, and as it turns out, it almost had a sequel.

Actor Matt Damon said he was offered his role in Martin Scorsese's 'The Departed' by Brad Pitt, the actor originally considered for it. Pitt told Damon he felt he was too old for the role. (Run time: 0:42)

Billy Costigan (DiCaprio), street-smart and tough, is purported to have a violent temper that costs him his badge and eventually lands him back on the rough streets of South Boston, where he is recruited into Costello's ranks. But neither man is what he seems and, as they work at cross purposes, they are plunged into a dangerous game of cat and mouse in which the stakes could not be higher.

Most of Martin Scorsese's films have been about men trying to realize their inner image of themselves. That's as true of Travis Bickle as of Jake LaMotta, Rupert Pupkin, Howard Hughes, the Dalai Lama, Bob Dylan or, for that matter, Jesus Christ. "The Departed" is about two men trying to live public lives that are the radical opposites of their inner realities. Their attempts threaten to destroy them, either by implosion or fatal betrayal. The telling of their stories involves a moral labyrinth, in which good and evil wear each other's masks.

Featuring outstanding work from an excellent cast, The Departed is a thoroughly engrossing gangster drama with the gritty authenticity and ...
