A Definitive Review Of The Departed

By Vicki Mcguire

The year two thousand and six produced some awesome action based flicks and the departed is just one of them. Based on the back ground of mafia and police tussle, this movie inculcates the audience with introducing not one but two double crossers of which one is a good cop and one is a cop, gone rogue.

The film plot is very strong and is circling around the concept of human betrayal, greed and intimacy feelings all conjugated under the fight of the law with lawlessness. Normally most of us witness brilliant police officers joining the crime ranks in order to spy on the lawless mongers but this time these mongers prepare a great defense in shape of their spy within the law agency troops.

Young Billy is a fresh Police graduate and his connection with the Irish underworld in the US makes him one of the best candidates to spy on the mafia. He quickly gains trust of the mafia heads and lands in the middle of all the criminal action planning and doings and hence proves to be a vital factor is sabotaging most of them.

While Billy is busy in spying on the Mafia, Collin Sullivan is the mafia installed spy in the law enforcing agency. Like Billy, Collin also is sharp and moves quickly up the police ranks to become a respectable special investigation unit officer. This unit is the actual operative one against the Irish American cartels receiving tips from Billy. Collins unique character of double playing the police as well as the mafia is perhaps the only thing that makes this movie stand out of the normal gangster type ones.

Later on in the movie, it becomes clear to both the bad guys and the good guys that they have some leaking point in their respective gangs and groups. The two double crossing agents find themselves in desperate struggle to uncover the other moles identity in order to prove themselves as innocent. Now this is the point that the film gets really interesting and gains the action and thrilling momentum in which both these double agents are on the verge of jeopardizing with their mates and fellows in their respective gangs.

The last half of the movie is something worth looking forward too. Although it might not be on the most action filled thrillers but the intensity and depth of the drama is absolutely worth watching. In these scenes Billy and Collin move toward a head to head collision based on the Collins discovery that Billy is actually working for the cops and is about to turn the whole gang in.

The drop scenes show Billy asking Collin to leave the bad ways and opt in for the immunity and protection offered by the Police department. Collin would not give up so easily and hence finally, Billy dies at the hands of Collin during a physical fight scene.

The departed is a classic action and drama flick that focuses yet again on making truth, honesty, and good deeds as the final winner. There are a lot of moments within this movie that can make you grasp your breath due to the suspense and drama. All in all, it is one of the best flicks ever when we talk about two thousand six releases.
