35 Best Drama Movies on Netflix

2. The Departed

The Departed is a tale of betrayal and trust involving people from many walks of life. No one can be relied upon. From the law’s guardians, who execute the bidding of those who break it, to the thugs who protect it in secret. Scorsese has masterfully constructed a dramatic and riveting story. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the character of an undercover detective who strives to keep the big bad Costello’s (Jack Nicholson) every action informed and his sanity under check. Inside the Boston police department, Costello has his own informant, agent Sullivan (played by Matt Damon), who keeps him up to date on their every move until he has had enough when he discovers Costello is an FBI informant himself. This movie is 2nd on our list of 35 Best Drama Movies on Netflix.

The film is now available on Australian and Canadian Netflix , Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX).
