Logline: Something’s rotten in the Ma State Police Department; it reeks of a double agent from mob-boss Costello’s (Nicholson) gang. Two men of the law, an undercover in Costello’s unit and a mole (loyal to Costello) working as a State detective, will stop at nothing to discover each others’ identity.
Memorable Moments: In The Departed, the most memorable moments are every time a major character gets whacked—and boy do folks get whacked!
Why People Love It: How can you not love a Scorsese (who also brought us the gems Casino and Goodfellas) gangster flick?
Best Quote: Frank Costello (Nicholson): “When you decide to be something, you can be it…When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I’m saying to you is this: When you’re facing a loaded gun, what’s the difference?”
