Preformance
It's Bryan Cranston, need I say more.

Tense at parts.

It's not often I go into a movie with few expectations. By the time any movie releases I'm usually over saturated with the summary, maybe a few trailers, and dozens of reviews, however I had the fortune of going into The Infiltrator without the foresight of what I would be seeing. The premise is all to familiar while being rooted in reality; Bryan Cranston plays real life undercover agent Robert Mazur and comes up with a scheme to launder the money behind Escobar's drug trade freezing their assets in the process. As expected Cranston plays his role fantastically, its not really an oscar caliber preformance considering the character (as he was written) in the script wasn't anything exceptional, but it would still be a sin to ignore the impact on a technical level. Cranston's portrayal of Mazur makes the story fun when it's too serious, and makes some moments tense though we know he will be fine. The story is flawed, several plot lines just straight up dissapear or don't make since at all, and the direction is only just ok. Despite these objections, they didn't subtract too much from the movie as the plot unfolded. As non fiction thrillers go, I was glued to my seat and invested. Chasing the money along with Robert Mazur is one chase worth checking out.
