THE INFILTRATOR film review by Mark Glass

– By Mark Glass –

The Infiltrator: Compelling production in fact-based drama about 1980s drug wars; another fine showcase role for Bryan Cranston

Rating: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars (R)

 

Bryan Cranston stars as an undercover US Customs agent, trying to break up, or at least dent, the rampant drug trade of the 1980s in this fact-based drama. I vaguely remember the story from back then, but this presentation of what went into it serves up all the suspense and emotional depth one would expect from such a film. While not as glitzy or edgy as comparable period piece American Hustle, this one feels more realistic without losing its punch.
