BARNYARD: THE ORIGINAL PARTY ANIMALS

Category: Crime
Runtime: 151 minutes
Staring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson
Directed by: Martin Scorsese

Description:

The Departed is set in South Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholson). 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 is 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.

Reviews:

CNN says, "The storytelling here is a model of smooth precision."

New York Times says, "Martin Scorsese's cubistic entertainment about men divided by power, loyalty and their own selves finds the director back on the mean streets where he belongs."

Philidelphia Weekly says, "It's a snarling, magnificent beast. Welcome back, pal."
