A terrific performance from Bryan Cranston lifts this otherwise run-of-the-mill real-life story of an undercover US Customs official on the trail of a Colombian drug lord.
Often gripping, and elevated by Cranston’s superb central performance. But it’s hard not to feel like we’ve seen this before, often and done better.
You won’t find much originality in The Infiltrator but it has at least some of the flamboyance and fieriness of all those 70s and 80s gangster movies it is trying so hard to imitate.
Cranston is eminently watchable.
This tale of a federal agent who went undercover among Colombian drug lords, adapted from Robert Mazur’s memoir, is indulgent and interminable.
A solid, well-acted tale.
The Breaking Bad star is brilliant in this crime thriller but complicated plotting slows it down.
