"There’s a great moment in The Departed where psycho gangster Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) tries to discover which of his crew has been feeding the police inside information about his operation. I say it is a great scene, but what I should say is that I imagine it is a great scene. It’s probably pure Scorsese, filled with tension, violence and even a little bit of sadism. I say imagine because we never actually see the scene. What we do see is a brief exchange between Billy Costigan (Leonardo Di Caprio) and Costello that is all of three lines long. Di Caprio shows up to get his assignment for the day at Costello’s hangout. Costello comes out of a back room, sleeves rolled up, covered in blood with an grim clown smile plastered on his face, and tells Leo DiCaprio to take the day off because he’s trying out a new crew. We don’t see as much as a bitch slap or a kneecapping, but we can imagine the grim goings on in the back room and that is worse than anything Scorsese could have shown us. When Nicholson points to the back with his dripping red hand and tells the bartender to “get a mop” our curiosity is peaked. Nicholson covered in blood is startling, but leaving out why he is covered in gore is memorable."
