The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I watched the first hour, then it got boring. Fast forward to the end expecting some action, but there was none.

(Flash Review)Is it possible for a DEA agent to honestly care for hardened and ruthless people? Cranston brilliantly portrays the difficulty of keeping the two worlds he lives within and his emotions apart. Based on true events, Cranston's character has gone undercover in an attempt to set up and pull off a massive money laundering scheme to lure in top level drug cartel offenders. Paced nicely, you see how the scheme builds and how deeper and intertwined Cranston gets with various players. The focus is more on the character relationships, crisp dialog and slow burn tension, rather than elaborate action scenes. The soundtrack is less subtle but hit the right vibe and worked for me. Overall, this was a slightly unique approach to a genre with a slew entries, many of which are legendary.

Review: The thing that made the Breaking Bad series so great, was the fact that Bryan Cranston was the most unlikely drug dealer you could ever find, which was why he wasn't the perfect choice for an undercover agent in this movie. He really seemed out of place throughout the whole film, and I was surprised that no one questioned who he was, and we're he came from. The fact that it was based on true events, makes me feel that the director missed out some key moments, because he seemed to join the cartel with ease, which made it feel unrealistic. Anyway, Bryan Cranston plays an undercover officer called Robert Mazur, who tries to takedown Pablo Escobar's operation, with fellow officers Emir Abreu (John Leguizamo) and Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger), who plays his pretend wife. As they have failed to get to the heads of the cartel from a drug angle, they decide to try a money angle, which seems to make Robert move up the ladder much quicker. He soon becomes friends with one of the big bosses, Roberto Alcaino (Benjamin Bratt), and he gains the trust of some top banks, which makes his operation seem believable. Once they have enough information, the secret agents gather at Roberts fake wedding to Kathy, to takedown all of the culprits they have been investigating but after spending so long in the drug world, Robert can't help feeling bad, whilst watching the people he has come close to, get taken down with nowhere to run. It's quite an interesting story, which must have been pretty scary to be in but I personally think that the movie could have been more intense, especially as Robert was surrounded by so many murderers. When an agent is undercover, I don't expect them to go home to there family every night, and I thought it would have been easy to work out that they were using names of dead people. Anyway, it's a decent movie which is worth a watch but there are better films in this genre. Watchable!Round-Up: Judging by the money that this movie made at the box office, it's obvious that Bryan Cranston, 61, hasn't got a certified, bankable name as of yet, and with movies like Godzilla and Trumbo not going down to well with the critics, it's going to take a massive hit for him to come out of this bad run of movies. He's definitely a unique actor, which is good at his craft but it's his choice of projects, which has to be questioned. Anyway, this movie was directed by Brad Furman, who has brought you the movies, The Take, The Lincoln Lawyer and Runner Runner. I think that this movie lacked the attention to detail which it needed, like in Blow starring Johnny Depp but John Leguizamo was great because he brought some wit to a difficult situation. On the plus side, it did make me look into Robert Mazur's true story but apart from that, it will be quickly forgotten. Budget: $47.5million Worldwide Gross: $18.3millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their biography/crime/dramas, starring Bryan Cranston, Amy Ryan, John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt, Joseph Gilgun, Jason Isaacs and Diane Kruger. 5/10

A U.S. Customs official uncovers a money laundering scheme involving Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. A movie about Bryan Cranston where he plays an undercover cop and involves around Cartels and Drugs? Well there you have it this film is terrific i expected it to be good but not that damn good. The acting is great especially from Cranston, Benjamin Bratt continues to showcase his acting talent that he very much showed in Snitch, Diane Kruger was terrific and she was very very smart playing this undercover agent and finally John Leguizamo in a decent and good role once again. The suspense reaches the roof, the story is superb and everyone delivers in a lot of great ways and even tho the film hardly has any actual action it's still one hell of a great movie plus the End Credits song had such a great 80's beat to it. The Infiltrator is easily one of the best films about Drugs since Blow (2001)
