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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A razor-tense cat-and-mouse game where the line between cop and criminal dissolves entirely. The film moves with relentless momentum, undercutting any moment of safety with sudden, shocking violence that reminds you nobody is safe.

Reviews
Only reason why its not a 10 is because mark wahlberg is just not good as a dramatic or serious actor
The Departed is my favorite mafia movie. I frequently complain about movies being too long. In this case, I dig it. I hadn't seen it in a long time and was fuzzy on the specifics, so it was almost like watching it again for the first time.
