The Departed (2006, R)
Martin Scorsese's best work often deals with crime, with the tension between multiple identities (the public and the private persona), and with moral quagmires. That his newest film, a remake of 2004's Hong Kong action drama "Infernal Affairs", should take on no less than all of these qualities is a sign that he is at the top of his game. Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are a couple of South Boston natives who grew up on opposite sides of the track (though only one of them came from the wrong one, precisely). Damon is a mob protégé undercover in the State Police Department and DiCaprio is William Costigan, Jr., a police cadet hand-picked out of the Academy to join the ranks of vile, Irish mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson, in a career high performance!). Scorsese reteams here with great collaborators Thelma Schoonmaker (editor), Michael Ballhaus (cinematographer), and his own brilliant sense of music supervision (he scores his films like no other!). Cut within an inch of its life to keep pace with an often hyperkinetic camera, as well as some choice bits of source music (including "Shipping Up to Boston" by The Dropkick Murphys), Scorsese's latest crime epic ranks near his best. |
