Spoiler Review: The Departed

Spoiler Review-The Departed

This was a crime thriller movie that had kept me on the edge on my seat with its plot twists which i think where the highlight of the movie and took me by a big surprise. What is was about is and undercover cop named Billy who successfully infiltrates this Irish mafia/gang which is led by Frank Costello who is obviously doing illegal things but can't get arrested because there is no evidence of that. And mole in the police force named Colin Sullivan who is working for Frank and which is very loyal to him as well (these are the three main characters). Both the police force and the mafia/gang find out that there is someone is working on the other side and it is a race to see who gets found out first.

It has a dark and gritty tone to it in most scenes especially the ones that include torture in them or the ones that show the mafia/gang in their hideout whilst at the same time having a jokey atmosphere to them for example like when the cops are talking amongst themselves they would be insulting each other and joking. Same thing with the mafia/gang members they would be doing that amongst themselves. One thing that bothered me about this film is that it was sometimes hard to understand what they were saying and i think that they focused too much on the main characters their wasn't much character development gone towards everyone else. I would sometimes end up forgetting the names of those characters leading me to be confused as to who they would be talking about.

The best part of this movie for me were the plot twist which in my opinion I think where executed very well you wouldn't of expected Colin who was so loyal and scared of Frank to kill him which releases the suspicion of him being the mole might i add he was one of the main character making you think the movie is finished. But its not so you wouldn't expect Billy who was the guy you was rooting for to just get shot in the head and after finding out who the mole was and arresting him as well making you think the movie is finished again but it's not and thinking anything that threatens Colin is gone he just get shot in the head too thus all three dead and ending the movie. This movie gave me 3 surprises 1 small one a 2 big ones.

Rating this movie's plot twist 9/10
