The Departed is a 2006 Academy Award-winning film directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, and Ray Winstone. A remake of the popular 2002 Hong Kong crime thriller Infernal Affairs by Andrew Lau and Siu Fai Mak, the film's screenplay was adapted by William Monahan from the original script written by Felix Chong and Siu Fai Mak.
The film takes place in Boston when Frank Costello, Irish mob boss, implants Colin Sullivan as a mole inside the Massachusetts State Police. Simultaneously, Billy Costigan is employed by the Police to infiltrate Costello's crew. When the two rats catch wind of the other's involvement, they are dispatched to discover each other's identities.
The film won four Oscars at the 79th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Film Editing (Thelma Schoonmaker), and Best Adapted Screenplay (William Monahan). Additionally, Mark Wahlberg was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance.
Plot
The movie begins "some years ago" in South Boston, where Irish mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello (Jack Nicholson) takes Colin Sullivan under his wing with an intention of making him into a mole for his crew one day. Years pass and Sullivan (Matt Damon) is in training for the Massachusetts State Police. His classmates include Barrigan (James Badge Dale), Brown (Anthony Anderson) and Billy Costigan (Leonardo Dicaprio). Upon joining the State Police, Sullivan begins leaking information to Costello. Meanwhile, the cool and collected Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) and the aggressive Staff Sgt. Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) of the undercover division assign Costigan to infiltrate Costello's crew. Costigan is "charged" with assault and battery, goes to prison, and then begins selling drugs with his lowly cousin to get noticed by Costello.
Sullivan is soon promoted to the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) headed by the foul-mouthed Captain Ellerby (Alec Baldwin). Meanwhile, Costigan begins assaulting associates and enemies of Costello, which provokes Costello to take an interest in him, and after first questioning him and then getting to know him he accepts him into his crew. Meanwhile, Sullivan begins a romantic relationship with criminal psychiatrist Madolyn Madden (Vera Farmiga), who is also having sessions with Costigan as a part of his probation for assault. Costigan then begins committing felonies with Costello's trusted right-hand man, Mr. French (Ray Winstone), and obtains information to pass along to police in the process.
After a year, Costello plans to sell stolen missile-guidance microprocessors (which turn out to be fake) to Chinese buyers along with his main crew of a few men, under the observation of the State Police. Through the use of text messaging, Sullivan tries to save them from arrest while Costigan tries to send the cops details. Apparently Costello was tipped off by another informant within the Massachusetts State Police, because both his crew and the Chinese buyers evade the video surveillance during the actual deal and later escape out the back, where there are no police and no surveillance cameras. When it becomes obvious that tip-offs are going in both directions, Sullivan, who has just moved into his condominium with Madolyn, asks Costello for the personal information of his crew (full names, SSN's, birthdates, etc.) in order to search for cops in police records. Separately, Costigan is shocked to discover that Costello is an informant for the FBI.
Later, Costigan sleeps with Madolyn, unknown to Sullivan, and perhaps sires a child by her (an earlier scene implied that Sullivan may have been suffering from impotence). The night afterwards, Costello and Sullivan meet in a pornography theater, where Costello gives Sullivan an envelope full of his main crew’s records. Costigan witnesses the conversation. After Costello departs, Costigan shadows Sullivan into the streets, instructed by Queenan via cell phone to confirm a visual of the suspect and arrest him. Sullivan figures out that he is being tracked, mistakenly stabs an innocent man, and then flees. Costigan thus encounters the mole in the SIU, but fails to identify him.
Next, the police assign Sullivan the job of uncovering the mole in SIU, who is of course himself. Above suspicion, he is able to focus all of his efforts on finding the police snitch in Costello's crew. Tracing the information that Costello provided on his crew fails to produce any leads, however, since Dignam had the tech department seal the personnel files of his snitches.
Trying another tact, Sullivan assigns policemen to follow Queenan, hoping this will reveal the identity of the police informant. A few days later, Costigan meets with Queenan on a rooftop. Sullivan tips off Costello, who dispatches his crew to the building to kill the informant. On his way to the building, Delahunt (one of Costello's men) calls Costigan and tells him that they've been dispatched to the building, not knowing that Costello sent him home earlier in the day. However, Delahunt accidentally gives the wrong address. Realizing Queenan was followed, Costigan and Queenan run for the exit, but Costello's men have already arrived. Queenan stays behind while Costigan escapes unseen via the fire escape. Costello's men run into Queenan and kill him, tossing him through a window on the top floor where he falls at the feet of Costigan below. Costigan joins them as they exit the building, looking like he arrived late. The police following Queenan see the dead body, however, and engage Costello's crew on the way out. Delahunt (and a police officer) are shot, but everybody is able to make a clean getaway.
At the police precinct, Dignam questions Sullivans's knowledge of Queenan's whereabouts and actions. The hostilities escalate into a fistfight, after which Dignam is forced to take a leave of absence. Meanwhile, the mortally wounded Delahunt realizes that Costigan is the informant, a fact that he reveals only to Costigan, moments before dying of his wounds. He is then buried by his mob associates in the marshes. The police soon discover the body and report that he was an undercover officer, a report that Costello is highly skeptical of, believing that the report was made to convince him that the informant is gone. He remains confident, apparently unconcerned about being linked to the murder of Queenan, a highly respected official in the Massachusetts State Police.
Still trying to find the police mole in Costello's crew, Sullivan uses the late Captain Queenan's phone to call Costigan. Sullivan poses as the new head of undercover operations and tries to get Costigan to come in. A few days later, Costello and his crew head to an old warehouse to retrieve a supply of cocaine while police tail them. Costello demands that Sullivan disengage the tails. However, Sullivan has recently discovered that Costello is an FBI informant and is worried that Costello may have revealed his identity to the FBI. Sullivan disengages the tails, but uses that to set up a police ambush at the warehouse. After a brutal shoot-out, Costello's entire main crew is killed. Costigan slips away before the firefight. Costello also escapes, but is confronted personally by Sullivan. Costello confirms that he is an FBI informant, but claims that Sullivan is like a son to him and that he'd never give him up. After this revelation, he tries to shoot Sullivan, but is severely wounded and as a result misses. Sullivan returns fire, and Costello dies.
The police return to the station, where Sullivan has a debrief with Costigan. Sullivan tells Costigan of his plans to find Costello's mole within the department, but when Sullivan is away from the office, Costigan finds incriminating evidence on Sullivan's desk. Realizing Sullivan was the mole, Costigan flees. Sullivan deletes Costigan's file; the only proof that he was an undercover agent and not an actual criminal. Costigan then finds Madolyn and gives her an envelope. He tells her she is the only one he can trust. He tells her to keep the envelope and that the only time she should open it is either when he tells her to, or if he is dead. Costigan later sends Sullivan newly obtained recordings of Sullivan and Costello's conversations, along with a number to call. Madolyn hears one of these tapes and confronts Sullivan, then locks herself in the bedroom when he tries to explain them. Sullivan calls the phone number and speaks to Costigan, who arranges a meet at the same rooftop where Queenan was killed.
Once there, Costigan, hysterical, confronts and arrests Sullivan. Costigan had arranged for Trooper Brown, a friend from the academy, to meet him at the building with Staff Sgt. Dignam. However, Brown comes alone and confronts Costigan as he is arresting Sullivan, demanding that he drop his weapon. Costigan, with Sullivan as his hostage, heads for the elevator. As they make their way to the ground floor, Sullivan viciously taunts Costigan, trying to save face and potentially have Costigan fall for his bluff. As Costigan holds his own, Sullivan breaks down and asks Costigan to kill him, to which he responds, "I am killing you." When they reach the ground floor, the elevator door slides open, and Costigan is immediately shot in the head, dropping lifelessly to the floor. As his body blocks the door from fully closing, trooper Barrigan stands with his gun drawn, and reveals himself to be Costello's other mole in the Massachusetts State Police. Officer Brown arrives and is also shot by Barrigan. Barrigan releases Sullivan and begins to manipulate the crime scene, but Sullivan, after picking up Costigan's gun, uses it to kill Barrigan. Sullivan plays the hero, accusing Barrigan of being the snitch they had been seeking all along and blaming the deaths of Brown and Costigan on Barrigan. In addition, he claims that Costigan saved his life, and ironically recommends him for the Medal of Merit.
Sullivan attends Costigan's funeral, where a tearful Madolyn refuses to speak with him or give him details about her pregnancy. An unspecified time later, Sullivan returns home to find Dignam in plain clothes and wearing protective covers on his shoes, waiting in his apartment. Dignam draws his gun on Sullivan, who, accepting his fate, simply says, "Okay". Dignam hesitates for a moment, shoots Sullivan in the head and leaves. As Sullivan's body lies in the doorway of his apartment, a lone rat scurries across the bannister of the outdoor balcony, overlooking the gold dome of the Massachusetts State House.

Themes
Film critic Stanley Kauffman describes a major theme of The Departed as one of the oldest in drama—the concept of identity—and how it "affects one's actions, emotions, self-knowledge, even dreams."[1]
The father-son relationship is a theme throughout the film. Costello acts as a father figure to both Sullivan and Costigan.[2]

Boston setting
Template:Spoiler The film heavily incorporates the culture and history of Boston. The first images are news clips from the busing riots of the 1970s, over which Costello muses about the city's troubled racial history. Several times, Dignam refers to Costigan as "lace curtain", a term used primarily in the Boston metropolitan area by working-class Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans to disparage upper-middle class Irish and Italians who have strayed from their roots. Despite the tendency of films to use generic phone numbers, Boston's 617 area code can be clearly seen on various characters' cell phones. The Massachusetts State House is also featured in the film as a symbol of Colin Sullivan's ambition. Boston Red Sox apparel is seen and worn. The John Hancock Tower is referenced by Costello. The film includes the song "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys, an Irish-American punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts. Other references include state locations such as Route 128, regions such as the North Shore, local towns such as Brockton, Worcester, Gloucester, and Somerville, mention of the Dedham Mall (located in Dedham just south of Boston), and state slang like "Staties", a local nickname for Massachusetts State Police troopers. Also, Deerfield Academy, a boarding school in Deerfield, MA, is referenced when Dignam points out that Costigan was expelled from the school after assaulting the gym teacher.
The character Frank Costello was largely based on James "Whitey" Bulger, a real life Irish-American mobster in Boston; Whitey was believed to have been seen coming out of a theater showing the film in San Diego in November 2006.[3][4] Matt Damon's character is based on John Connolly, the FBI agent who tipped off Bulger for years, allowing him to evade arrest. In real life, Bulger went into hiding and is still presumed to be at large; Connolly is currently imprisoned for his role in Bulger's criminal activities. Costigan's undercover role as a former State trooper who joins the Irish mob parallels the story of Richard Marinick, a former State trooper who later joined Whitey Bulger's crime syndicate. Costigan also lives in Somerville, where Bulger's Winter Hill Gang began.
Critical reception
General critical consensus after the film's release has been overwhelmingly positive; the film is currently one of the highest-rated wide release films of 2006 on Rotten Tomatoes at 93%, the sixth highest on Metacritic, and the twelfth highest on Yahoo! All-Time Top Movies (as determined by users).[5] As of February 13, 2007, The Departed is also the 2nd highest-rated film of 2006 on IMDb's Top 250, coming in at #73 in the all-time rankings,[6] and is among the highest-rated films of the decade on IMDb's "Best of the 2000s" List at #15.[7]
Andrew Lau, the co-director of Infernal Affairs, who was interviewed by Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily on October 9, 2006, said "Of course I think the version I made is better, but the Hollywood version is pretty good too. [Scorsese] made the Hollywood version more attuned to American culture." Andy Lau, one of the main actors in Infernal Affairs, when asked about how the movie compares to the original, said: "The Departed was too long and it felt as if Hollywood had combined all three Infernal Affairs movies together."[8] Lau pointed out that the remake featured some of the "golden quotes" of the original but did have much more swearing. He ultimately rated The Departed 8/10 and said that the Hollywood remake is worth a view, though "the effect of combining the two female characters in the original into one isn't as good as in the original", according to Lau's spokeswoman Alice Tam.[9]
Michael Patrick MacDonald, author of the Southie memoirs All Souls and Easter Rising, wrote an Op Ed Piece for The Boston Globe[10] praising the film's ability to recreate the "strangulating" culture created by Boston gangsters, politicians, and law enforcement officials at all levels of local, state, and federal government - a culture of violent death and silence that led to years of young suicides and an epidemic of painkilling through heroin and Oxycontin. The op-ed piece caused a stir in Boston, eliciting a 688 word missive from a South Boston state senator as well as letters from South Boston real estate agents concerned about the "negative" depiction of the "trendy" neighborhood of South Boston.
Many film critics consider this film to be Martin Scorsese's masterpiece for this decade, similar to the way Taxi Driver was considered his masterpiece for the 1970s, Raging Bull for the 1980s, and Goodfellas for the 1990s. Film Comment magazine, a American film journal, ranked The Departed as the Number One Film of The Year, with 779 points. Almost every contributing critic placed The Departed on his or her list, with the majority placing it in the top five.
The film won four Academy Awards at the 79th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Film Editing (Thelma Schoonmaker), and Best Adapted Screenplay (William Monahan). Mark Wahlberg was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance.
Box office
Upon its release, The Departed opened at #1 at the U.S. box office with a gross of US$26,887,467, beating fellow openers Employee of the Month and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. It entered at #2 in the UK (behind The Devil Wears Prada), but took the top spot the following week and held onto it for a further week. As of February 22, 2007, the movie has grossed $131,591,084 domestically and $278,291,084 worldwide, making it the highest grossing Scorsese picture to date.
DVD release
The Departed was released by Warner Brothers on DVD on February 13, 2007 in Region 1 format, and on February 19 2007 in Region 2 format, and will be released on March 14 2007 in region 4 format.

Trivia
- Whenever someone dies or is about to die in the movie, there is always an X somewhere in the scene. Scorsese used this hinting technique from one of his old favorite gangster movies, Scarface: The Shame of a Nation.
- In the beginning of the film ("Boston, some years ago"), Frank Costello gives young Colin Sullivan a copy of Wolverine #11 from early September 1989 [1].
- Matt Damon is from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mark Wahlberg returned to his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts in this film. Wahlberg's schedule was moved to the beginning of principal photography so he would have time in his schedule for another film, as was Alec Baldwin's.
- Certain stunts were performed and filmed in the old Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, MA.
- Early in the film, Frank Costello makes reference to part of John Milton's Paradise Lost, in which Satan defies God by declaring, non serviam - "I will not serve". In the film, the phrase is attributed to James Joyce, whose character Stephen Dedalus does indeed utter it in the novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in reference to Milton. In Ulysses, chapter five concerns the burial of "poor Dignam", also the name of one of the only major characters in the film who is not killed.
- Jack Nicholson has mentioned that he considers his character of Costello to be an "ultimate embodiment of evil".[11]
- Scorsese regular Robert De Niro was considered for the roles of both Frank Costello and Captain Queenan. Preoccupied with directing his own film, The Good Shepherd, he turned down both roles.
- A mistake was made early on during the 79th Academy Awards Show. When the award was presented for Best Adapted Screenplay to The Departed, the announcer incorrectly referred to the film as being based on a Japanese film. In fact, the film was based on a Hong Kong film, Infernal Affairs. However, Martin Scorsese corrected the mistake in his acceptance speech for his win for Best Directing.
- In the very last shot, it is obvious that it is a stand-in laying dead on the floor of Damon's character's entry, the hair is wrong and the pants are dark grey instead of the khaki he wore when he walks in and is shot by Wahlberg.
- This was Scorsese's first film to win the Best Picture Academy Award.
- There's a mistake in the movie, after Jack Nicholson is smashing Leonardo DiCaprio's broken hand with his own boot on a pool table, Jack is walking away from the table and in the background shows DiCaprio falling down to the ground, then another scene is shown right after that one showing DiCaprio falling down again making it seem like he fell down twice.
Sequel Rumors
- Although it is mostly speculation at this point, as of February 13, 2007, Mark Wahlberg has stated that a sequel is already being written by The Departed screenwriter William Monahan and that he would love to reprise the role of Dignam and is reportedly in talks to do so. It is unclear if Scorsese will return to direct. Wahlberg has reported that the studio is pursuing Robert DeNiro for a part in the sequel, possibly playing the corrupt senator brother of Nicholson's character (William M. Bulger the brother of Whitey Bulger, whom Nicholson's character is based on, was a politician). Wahlberg has also stated that if the sequel is a success, the studio plans to reunite the entire cast for a prequel. This will make the films similar to the Infernal Affairs trilogy on which they are based.[citation needed]
