About
As of 2026, it's 20 years old.
The Departed is Scorsese's twisty Boston crime thriller about a cop undercover in the mob and a mobster undercover in the cops, each racing to expose the other before they're exposed first. It's tense, brutal, profane, and finally won Scorsese his long-overdue Best Director Oscar after decades of snubs.
A stacked cast, a rat that strolls across the final shot, and an escalating game of double-identity paranoia make it ferociously entertaining.
Gripping, vicious, and overdue-Oscar-winning, The Departed is the crime thriller where everyone is lying and the only certainty is that it won't end well.
