Plot Summary for
The Departed (2006)

The remake of the 2002 Hong Kong hit film revolves around a rivalry between the Massachusetts police force and an Irish-American gang. A gangster is chosen to infiltrate the police force while a young police officer is chosen to infiltrate the gang. When their paths cross, what will be the result?

Summary written by Ninja01

Years ago, a powerful Irish mafia figure placed a small selection of his youngest, brightest men into the Massachusetts Police Academy as cadets. Their purpose is to eventually rise within the prestigious ranks of the city's police department, to serve as the eyes and ears of their boss. While somewhere else, a young cadet was assigned with an equally dangerous task: infiltrate the Irish syndicate headed by the man sending in his own to the Boston Police. Now, one cadet is an up and coming police official with a torn allegiance to his job and to the criminal mastermind that put him there. While the other cadet is the trusted number two of that man, only finding his professional duties are becoming blurred with his current state. But new clues have lead to unfortunate discoveries, when both sides realize they're being watched by the enemy. It's now all just a matter of time before the men assigned to find out whose the infiltrator, could come to a bloody end when someone's identity may be revealed.



This movie was rated 4.5/5 by the guy on Canada AM (HIS HIGHEST RATING EVER) he is the best movie critic in the world. I would give this movie 5/5 any day.

Yeah, it was great. I loved the original, "Infernal Affairs," too. But then again, I'm a sucker for foreign films.



I've always been a fan of Scorcese, and this is no let down.

Yeah, I guess so. That happened to me twice last night. For some reason SEN started to lag tremendously and then after I had posted my response, two replies had shown up (and "flood control" didn't catch them). Strange.

I saw this over the weekend and it was Teh Rule. It was good to see Jack Nicholson play the villain again. I hope Martin Scorcese gets his long overdue Oscar credit for this movie.

Oh my God, I hope so. He's made so many great films and has been snubbed consistently. So far I have yet to see any big Oscar contenders (though there are still more movies to come eary next year), so that is a good sign for ol' Marty.


And Jack Nicholson is a major badass.

Even though this movie isn't original, I have to say I enjoyed it.

Thumbs UP.

Oh yeah, I saw this film last week with a bunch of friends.

It was definitely not my kind of film. The acting was brilliant with such a fine cast, but I found it boring and predictable, with none of the twists being particularly shocking.

The only part that surprised me was when they threw that dude off the building (I won't elaborate).

It was quite suspenseful towards the end and Scorsese is evidently a brilliant director but it was too gratuitously violent and nihilistic for me to like it. I found myself falling asleep at some points but then yet another person being shot in the head would make me jerk awake.

The History Boys, on the other hand, is a great film. I don't know if they've shown it in the US though, because it is a British film.
