The Departed

The underworld in Massachusetts, south of Boston, is extremely rampant, and the largest gang is the Irish gang run by Frank (Jack Nicholson). In order to destroy them, the police decided to send police academy graduate Billy (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) to lurk among them as an undercover agent. The police officer's cynicism made Billy, who had lived at the bottom of his life, very unhappy. He had wanted to be an upright policeman, but he had to obey orders under pressure. After going through the baptism of burning, killing and looting, he won Frank's trust. At the same time, Colin (Matt Damon), also a graduate, won an award from his superiors for anti-smuggling crimes, and was preparing to get married to his favorite girlfriend. In fact, he was a pawn planted by Frank in the police force, and the two colluded for personal gain. The police and criminals discovered the existence of a mole one after another, and a cat-and-mouse game began... The film won the 79th Academy Award for Best Picture, and Martin Scorsese won the Best Director Award.
