Infiltrator, The

A riveting, intense, factually based, superbly acted, well-paced, star-dotted (Amy Ryan, Jason Isaacs, Olympia Dukakis, Richard Katz, and Michael Paré), 127-minute thriller based on Robert Mazur's autobiography in which clever, smart, hard-as-nails Florida customs official Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston), who has a wife (Juliet Aubrey) and two children (Niall Hayes and Lara Decaro), goes undercover as a legitimate business owner in Tampa in order to launder money with his reckless partner (John Leguizamo) and a greenhorn agent (Diane Kruger) and concocts an elaborate, daring, dangerous scheme in 1985 to throw a wide net in an attempt to capture notorious drug dealers (Benjamin Bratt, Rubén Ochandiano, Yul Vazquez, Daniel Mays, Joseph Gilgun, Simón Andreu, et al.) and greedy, unscrupulous bankers (Saïd Taghmaoui, Art Malik, Tim Dutton, et al.) involved with the Colombian Medellín Cartel that imports more than $400 million worth of cocaine into the U.S. per week.
