Martin Scorsese finally won his long overdue Oscar with The Departed, but was it actually his best film? This week on The Cover, we go undercover in South Boston to break down one of the greatest crime thrillers ever made. We dive into the all star cast featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, and Vera Farmiga, unpack the movie's relentless twists, and explore the brilliant game of cat and mouse between a cop infiltrating the mob and a mobster infiltrating the police.
Along the way, we uncover the true story connections to Whitey Bulger, the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs that inspired it, behind the scenes stories from the set, hidden details you probably missed, and why the ending still sparks debate nearly twenty years later. We also settle the question every Scorsese fan has argued about: where does The Departed rank alongside Goodfellas, Casino, and The Irishman?
