Written by William Monahan, Siu Fai MakDirected by Martin ScorseseRunning Time: 152 minutes (approx)Production Year: 2006Rating: 18 CertificateProduction Country: USAFilmed in ColourBased on the classic Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs, this modern gangster classic has an A-list cast and was arguably the best movie of 2006. It won numerous awards - most notably four Oscars including Best Picture and, at long last, a Best Director award for Martin Scorsese. Expect blood, guts, strong language and a seriously over-the-top performance from Jack Nicholson (pictured, right). Young police academy graduate Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) (pictured, left) desperately wants to prove himself, and so accepts a dangerous long-term assignment to infiltrate the Irish mob who control south Boston. At the same time, and after a lifetime of training, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) enters the force to supply inside information to mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). The two young men are quizzed, beaten and psychologically stretched to their limits until the inevitable explosive showdown... When is The Departed next on TV?
