THE DEPARTED

"The Departed" is another favorite movie of mine.  It somewhat reminds me of "Pulp Fiction" because it gets pretty violent, has great acting,is a great story, and it also has great film editing.  I also like that it is based in Boston.  
The movie starts out with Frank Costello (played by Jack Nicholson) talking about his "business" (mafia) to a kid named Collin Sullivan (played by Matt Damon).  Collin Sullivan grows up and goes to the police academy along with a character named Billy Costigan (played by Leonardo DiCaprio).  The story circles around their time in the academy and after graduating Billy goes undercover while Collin becomes a state policeman.  They join together to bring down Costello but there is a surprise in the storyline which you won't be expecting.  
If you want a movie that is suspenseful and full of surprises this will be right up your alley.
All the actors are great but in my opinion Leonardo is the best!
This is Bruce's "The Departed" experience.  
Thanks for reading!
