The Infiltrator Film Review - Feels Like a Made for TV Movie
I love factual films, so was compelled to see this was based on true events.
Set in the mid 1980's, Bryan Cranston goes undercover as Robert Mazur who brings down the Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar and the corrupt bank (BCCI), the bank that launders truly enormous (in the billions) sums of money.
Not a terrible film but the storyline has been done many times and I couldn't help thinking the film didn't deliver anything particularly new. Not an outstanding film with very few memorable scenes, the only that comes to mind is the anniversary cake scene.
If you're a Bryan Cranston fan you'll enjoy this. However, if you want to see a film based on the war on drugs then there are better examples, for instance, the fantastic 'Sicario (2015)', or to a lesser degree and with a comedy edge 'American Hustle'.
5/10.
