Overall, The Departed is a solid crime thriller that pleases. I'm not sure if it is Scorsese's best work, but this movie is definitely a great piece. I recommend this movie for people...

The first film on our list has to be the one that caused The Departed to be made in the first place. Technically, The Departed is a remake of this 2002 Hong-Kong film, following the same story (a gang member infiltrates the police and at the same time the police infiltrate the gang). The main difference is, of course, the actors and the language, b...
A list about crime films wouldn’t be complete without mentioning The Godfather. Despite not sharing the same cast or director, the film is considered to be the definitive best crime film ever made, and quite frequently the single best film of all time. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino star, with Pacino’s character’s development from reluctance to brutal...
Of course, thematically, The Shining is completely alien to The Departed. One is a dramatic, often action-heavy crime film, and the other is a slow-moving horror. They’re both directed by people often considered to be up there with the greatest directors of all time, but it is their star that really links them. The Shining allows audiences to view ...
While The Departed was one of the earliest collaborations between Martin Scorsese and Leonard DiCaprio, Shutter Island was deeper into their partnership. It also allowed DiCaprio to take on an even more central role, with the events of the entire films following him exclusively. RELATED: 10 Most Villainous Characters In Martin Scorsese Films The ps...
The Irishman is a film that will go down in history. Now that Scorsese and his stars: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, are reaching the ends of their career, this could be the final film to unite such acting royalty on screen at the same time. The Departed has a more modern feel than many of Scorsese’s films, so fresh faces aren’t exactly c...
Brian De Palma’s masterpiece, Scarface, stars a post-Godfather Al Pacino in the lead role of Tony Montana. The tale follows Montana as he rises from refugee to drug lord. RELATED: 10 Best Martin Scorsese Movie Posters, Ranked Much like the themes of conflict and loyalty in The Departed,Scarface is centered on a character trying to fit into an unfam...
Returning yet again to Scorsese, this time for Casino. Clocking in at almost three hours, the crime epic is another of Scorsese’s grand, spanning works set in a criminal landscape. It brings Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro back together again and tells a story built on real characters. Sharon Stone was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress....
Another crime film, but not in the traditional sense. The Usual Suspects is built around the interrogation of Verbal, one of the survivors of a slaughter on a boat fronted by the mysterious Keyser Söze. While the action plays out very differently, the feeling that there is something more going on pollutes both films, with twists and turns appearing...
Of course, Martin Scorsese’s greatest masterpiece has to be included on this list. Goodfellas puts Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta together for one of the most engrossing and gripping crime films of all time. The links to The Departed are littered throughout in just about every way possible, from acting style to content to themes to direct...
Hear us out. If you enjoyed The Departed but have young children who shouldn’t be exposed to such violence, then Shark Tale is a genuinely good choice. Not only is it one of the very few animated films that actually focuses in on a story about the criminal underworld, but it also gives Martin Scorsesehis only voice acting role. Watch if you like: c...
One of the best crime dramas ever made, The Departed is a riveting film capable of being watched repeatedly. The pacing, acting, and writing are all superb, but what did you expect from a...
Oct 8, 2006 · The plotting is completely artificial, and makes sense only within a context of self-conscious formal play: a junior member of Boston’s Irish mob ( Matt Damon) is assigned by his eccentric godfather ( Jack Nicholson) to infiltrate the ranks of the Massachusetts State Police, at the same time a dutiful police cadet ( Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigne...
