And "The Departed"... :)

Once we start off on the topic of movies or books, I think we can go on discussing the merits and shortcomings endlessly and opinions vary as much as the surnames in a phonebook :).
Now, that said, I can comfortably call “The Departed” as one of the most illogical movies made and vehemently so because it is being praised as this year’s likely Oscar winning movie. We usually check IMDB for any movie review before watching and this time too we did the same but it turned out that this movie did not deserve all the praise it has got.
Well, the movie goes something like this… the state police force is trying to destroy one of the top crime gangs in Boston led by Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson).
Willy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), straight out of the Police Acadamy is assigned as an undercover cop to infiltrate the mob while Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a criminal is planted into the police department as an informer to Costello. Both these spies rise to a positions of power gaining trust and respect from their new bosses. But soon, the mob and the police get to know that there's a mole in their midst and both Willy and Sullivan need to expose the other to save their skins.
Until this point,I should say the movie was gripping…
But the movie comes crashing down and all hopes of a logical conclusion are shattered when they show Damon discovering that Nicholson is after all an FBI agent (!!??!!) planted to find out leaches in the police force.
Wait a minute, was all that brutal, in-your-face violence and raw dialogues just a cover( ???!!) And why in the world is the whole Massachusetts State police force chasing a man who is an FBI agent??!! They have done enough Cops serials, i guess :)
To top this all, Damon who is practically raised by Nicholson gets tipped off for being a mole (???!!)
Thank God,they atleast killed everyone in the end, so that way there would be no loose ends.
Yessir!, Jack Nicholson’s whirling devilish portrayal of an untouchable, perverted mob boss is reason alone to see "The Departed" and Dicaprio and Matt Damon are as good as always. So if you can ignore the glaring obnoxious faults in the story-line, you can still enjoy watching it.
Boy, I would laugh my head off if this movie picks an Oscar for Best Picture.
