Our take on The Departed

Scorsese's 2006 Oscar winner pits a cop undercover in the Irish mob against a gangster's mole inside the police, in a vicious Boston cat-and-mouse where identity itself is a trap. Tense, profane and ferociously acted, it's a modern crime classic. If its dual-mole dread and explosive violence gripped you, seek out twisty crime thrillers about loyalty, deception and men living double lives.
