The Infiltrator Film Review

Finished watching The Infiltrator, directed by Brad Furman and staring Bryan Cranston, Daniel Mays, John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger. The film opens up with U.S customs agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston) catching a drug dealer (Daniel Mays) but finds himself burned by the microphone which makes his bosses offer him an incredible well payed early retirement due to being hurt in the field. Robert declines the offer of early retirement as he goes undercover as a businessman named Bob Musella along with is colleague Emir Adreu (John Leguizamo) who helps to get Robert at the bottom of the drug smuggling ladder in hopes to climb up it the top to win the trust of the higher ups in order to stop their operation. Overall this was a good film as it dives into the world of the drug cartel with Robert being the point of view character that helps to keep all of the criminals and the further up the ladder criminals even though they seem incredibly nice and relatable people especially with Robert and his family dynamic. The acting is top notch and helps to bring some great tension and emotion takes to the surprises of some character's reveals and the journey Robert and his undercover fiancé Kathy (Diane Kruger) got through during the film. 7.5/10.
