Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg star in Martin Scorsese's new crime drama "The Departed." "The Departed" is set in South Boston where the state police force is waging an all-out war to take down the city's top organized crime ring. The key is to end the reign of powerful mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) from the inside. A young rookie, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate Costello's mob. While Billy is working to gain Costello's trust, another young cop, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is among a handful of elite officers whose mission is to bring Costello down. But what his superiors don't know is that Colin is working for Costello, keeping the crime boss one step ahead of the police. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operation he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that they have a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin find themselves in constant danger of being caught-and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.

Notice from our supplier: Unfortunately we have picked up an error in the Special Features Section on the back of the wrap of The Departed, 2-disc Edition and Collectors Edition.

One of the special features listed is “Feature-Length TCM Career Profile Scorsese on Scorsese”, however this feature does not appear on either of the discs. This is an unfortunate error that has been corrected on the additional 2-disc editions currently in production.
There may also be some confusion with the descriptions of the Special Features as we were advised to use the approved descriptions which are slightly different to the ones that appear on the DVD menu.
