The film: Nominated for an Oscar for Best Motion Picture in 2007, The Departed features Leonardo DiCaprio as an undercover agent employed by the Massachusetts State Police to take down Mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) and identify Costello's mole in the police force, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon).

The scene: After chasing Damon down the streets of Boston’s gritty Chinatown during a high-tension pursuit scene, DiCaprio takes some time to chill out with his colleague.

The style: Casual and laid-back, DiCaprio’s style is easy to pull off in real life and marks a distinct change from the overstylized ensembles of other mobster movies.
