Martin Scorsese's Boston crime saga gets the big screen treatment as part of the Beverly Theater's mob-themed film series. The Departed follows an undercover cop infiltrating the Irish mob and a mobster who's infiltrated the police, with both men racing to uncover each other's true identities before it's too late. Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon anchor a cast stacked with heavyweight talent, while Jack Nicholson's turn as crime boss Frank Costello remains one of the more menacing performances in the genre.

Watching this one in a proper theater setting brings out details that get lost on a home screen—the tension in Scorsese's editing, the grit of those South Boston streets, the sharp dialogue crackling between characters who are never quite who they claim to be. The Beverly's intimate 150-seat theater and quality acoustics make it a fitting spot to revisit (or discover) this modern crime classic, with the cocktail lounge and terrace nearby for talking through the twists afterward.
