The Infiltrator

Based on a true story, Federal agent Robert "Bob" Mazur (Bryan Cranston) goes deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar's drug trafficking scene plaguing the nation in 1986 by posing as slick, money-laundering businessman Bob Musella. Teamed with impulsive and streetwise fellow agent Emir Abreu (John Leguizamo) and rookie agent posing as his fiancé Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger), Mazur befriends Escobar's top lieutenant Roberto Alcaino (Benjamin Bratt). Navigating a vicious criminal network in which the slightest slip-up could cost him his life, Mazur risks it all building a case that leads to indictments of 85 drug lords and the corrupt bankers who cleaned their dirty money, along with the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest money-laundering banks in the world.

This was a really well told and acted movie.  Bryan Cranston continued his excellence in the field and did a great job basically playing two parts between the actual character and who he had to become undercover.  At no point did this slightly more than 2 hour movie drag or feel like the pacing was lame.  I don't know why this got a quiet release in the crowded summer field.  It could have done so much better given a more appropriate release date.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out if they have the chance.  It is a high quality movie across the board and a great vehicle for Bryan Cranston to shine yet again.
