The Departed
Overview
Scorsese's Boston crime epic plants a cop inside the mob and a mobster inside the police — then lets both men hunt each other. DiCaprio sweats through every scene as the undercover, Damon oozes corrupt charm as the rat, and Nicholson's Costello is pure menace. The double-crosses pile up until the final stretch, which hits like a freight train. His long-overdue Oscar winner, and it earned every bit of it.
