Had been waiting to see Departed for quite some time.Finally i did make a break for it this week.The only theatre still running it is Mayajaal which is some 30KM out of the city.Getting there is not as painful as it sounds as there is the beautiful ECR road to get you till there.The Departed is about the Irish mafia in Boston.Jack Nicholson is the head honco of the Irish mob who apart from doing regular evil stuff during his youth makes a smart investment with an eye on the future.He grooms a young lad to join the police force so that he could serve as an in house mole for him.The young lad grows up to be Matt Damon who serves his benefactor with extra ordinary devotion.
Leonardo Caprio is also a young lad with ambitions to join the police but unfortunately he has a past which makes him best suited for the role of an informer.
While Leonardo and Matt play the rat and mole game they have a common romantic interest in the police department psychaitrist.Towards the end as the suspense mounts so does the body count and you better not blink cause u would miss a kill.
I would say that Jack Nicholson as a profanity spouting mobster was outstanding.The movie is different from a usual gangster flick because it is hard hitting an un sentimental.I would rate it ****
