Plot: Two just-graduated officers from Massachusetts State Police Academy follow opposite sides of the law: William Costigan is assigned to work undercover with the Irish mobster Frank Costello to get evidences to arrest him. His true identity is only known by his superiors Dignam and Oliver Queenan. The protégée of Costello, Colin Sullivan, is promoted in the Massachusetts State Police and is the informer of Costello. Each police officer gives his best effort trying to disclose the identity of the other "rat".

Fantastic film If you haven't seen it, UK telly has been showing quite a lot of recent films now days, usually you had to wait a good 4-5 years for this films to be shown.

PS: Sorry if this is the wrong section to post. :D

    Great film, apparently Infernal Affairs (film it is based on) is better though? Haven't seen it so can't comment.

    It is much better, but the Departed is pretty great.

    Love The Departed. Haven't seen Infernal Affairs, but really want to...which is lucky, as it's on Film4, on Monday @ 10:50pm.

    I would give Infernal Affairs 2 a miss though.
