This one is another which I had to watch...
Plot -
In South Boston the state police force is waging war on organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate that is run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholsan). While Billy is quickly gaining Costello's confidence, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that there's a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy--and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.
Pros -
Story writing was great, acting was awesome, direction incredible... Makes the audience to sit on the edge of their seats...
Cons -
Too much violence... Even if the story needs it...
Special -
It is a privilege to watch a legend who is still so relevant:
Martin Scorsese. The iconic director is responsible for some of hollywood's all-time masterpieces (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas), but perhaps never has he seemed so vigorous....
