Review of The Infiltrator (2016) by Dann M — 13 Jul 2017
The Infiltrator is a thrilling docudrama about the 1980s drug war. The story follows Customs agent Robert Mazur as he puts together a major undercover operation to bust a Columbian drug cartel that's smuggling cocaine into the US.
Starring Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Diane Kruger, and Benjamin Bratt, the film has a solid cast. And, the writers do a good job at breaking down Mazur's money laundering scheme and at setting up who the various drug bosses are.
Additionally, the set and costume designers create an authentic 1980s look and feel, which helps in setting a gritty, dramatic tone. While it's kind of a familiar story, The Infiltrator is a compelling look at the challenges and dangers of living a double life.
