Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Director, which marks Scorsese’s first and only personal win to date (of an almost record-breaking ten total Best Director nominations).
Scorsese worked with an all-star cast in his action-packed thriller set in Boston, where a long-simmering hostility between the police department and an Irish-American gang led by Costello (Jack Nicholson) is primed to explode. The fuse is lit when a gangster (Matt Damon) is chosen to infiltrate the police force, and a young cop (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes undercover within the gang. Now, when the two moles uncover each other’s identity, the battle begins.
“The storytelling here is a model of smooth precision.”
—Tom Charity, CNN
