A Short Synopsis Of The Hit Film The Departed

By Jay Armstrong

The year two thousand and six produced some awesome action based flicks and the departed is just one of them. Based on the back ground of mafia and police tussle, this movie inculcates the audience with introducing not one but two double crossers of which one is a good cop and one is a cop, gone rogue.

The film plot is very strong and is circling around the concept of human betrayal, greed and intimacy feelings all conjugated under the fight of the law with lawlessness. Normally most of us witness brilliant police officers joining the crime ranks in order to spy on the lawless mongers but this time these mongers prepare a great defense in shape of their spy within the law agency troops.

Young Billy is a fresh Police graduate and his connection with the Irish underworld in the US makes him one of the best candidates to spy on the mafia. He quickly gains trust of the mafia heads and lands in the middle of all the criminal action planning and doings and hence proves to be a vital factor is sabotaging most of them.

On the other hand Collin is the one who is the mafia guy within the police ranks and is doing the same work that Billy does; but for the criminals. He is as good as Billy and quickly becomes a looked forward to officer is the special investigation unit which helps him in tipping of the mafia of their any plans in sabotaging the crime activities. This character carries a heavy importance in making this flick a hot pick on the box office because most of the conventional mafia and police movies do not show such variance in double agent roles.

Later on in the movie, it becomes clear to both the bad guys and the good guys that they have some leaking point in their respective gangs and groups. The two double crossing agents find themselves in desperate struggle to uncover the other moles identity in order to prove themselves as innocent. Now this is the point that the film gets really interesting and gains the action and thrilling momentum in which both these double agents are on the verge of jeopardizing with their mates and fellows in their respective gangs.

The last half of the movie is something worth looking forward too. Although it might not be on the most action filled thrillers but the intensity and depth of the drama is absolutely worth watching. In these scenes Billy and Collin move toward a head to head collision based on the Collins discovery that Billy is actually working for the cops and is about to turn the whole gang in.

The drop scenes show Billy asking Collin to leave the bad ways and opt in for the immunity and protection offered by the Police department. Collin would not give up so easily and hence finally, Billy dies at the hands of Collin during a physical fight scene.

The story is a myriad of ups and downs with some very obvious twists and some great thriller sequences. The bottom line of The Departed remains that no matter how powerful crime grows, it can never topple the truth, honesty, and goodness of society.
