We're Shipping Up to Boston w/ The Departed | Any Percent: Movies Ep. 7 Any Percent: Movies

In this episode of Any Percent we talk about The Departed, a 2006 American crime thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by William Monahan. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Wahlberg. In this movie, everyone is a rat and the accents are ridiculous.   

"The film takes place in Boston. Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello (Nicholson) plants Colin Sullivan (Damon) as a mole within the Massachusetts State Police; simultaneously, the police assign undercover state trooper William "Billy" Costigan (DiCaprio) to infiltrate Costello's crew. When both sides realize the situation, Sullivan and Costigan each attempt to discover the other's identity before they are found out."  

The Departed was a critical and commercial success, and won several awards, including four Oscars at the 79th Academy Awards, for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing, becoming Scorsese's only win for Best Director;[6] Wahlberg was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
