If you’re looking for a film to watch this winter, look no further than this thrilling Leonardo DiCaprio hit. On a list by Collider, the film has been named as Leo’s best film. The Departed (2006), follows an undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.

Collider says: “The Departed is an example of Scorsese and DiCaprio both reaching their creative peaks. This endlessly rewatchable remake of the iconic action movie Infernal Affairs is the definitive crime epic of the 21st century, and features DiCaprio in one of the grittiest (yet most vulnerable) performances of his career as the undercover police officer Billy Costigan Jr.”

The lead role of Billy Costigan is played by Leonardo DiCaprio, in one of his most acclaimed roles. Originally, Tom Cruise was considered for the role.

Scorsese had been nominated for a total of seven Oscars before The Departed but had never won. 

Finally, the famous director won Best Picture for the film along with Best Director.

One person on Rotten Tomatoes says: “Loved the acting of especially Leo, Jack and Wahlberg. This film got me hooked the whole time. 

“This is one of the best pieces of art from Scorsese in my opinion. an absolute must-watch thriller movie.” 

Another person pens: “Terrific film, I’d dare to say at this point already a classic. Great performances from everyone involved.”

A third person wrote: “Hits the spot for an intense thriller movie with dad! A bit of an eye magnet to follow what’s going on but it is incredible. 

“Definitely a film to see at least twice. I loved Nicholson as always but I get why so many great actors wanted a part in this. They don’t make movies like these anymore.”

If you’re hoping to watch the film, you can find it on Amazon Prime.
