vincentvitter I watched the first hour, then it got boring. Fast forward to the end expecting some action, but there was none.
Leon Smoothy This movie will leave you on the the edge of your seat from beginning to end. If you know anything about the beginning of the South American drug cartels, and their way of operating, or not, this will be a rewarding experience. Cranston is, as usual, excellent in his role as a US Customs agent posing as a major money laundered to get the big fishes on the hook during the 80's blooming cocaine trade in Florida. As a former accountant, a family man with children, he soon realises he is in over his head, but raises to the task and do an excellent, but constantly life threatening job. Adapting to an increasingly brutal environment he does a great job, despite not getting really good support from his superior officers. A movie based on true events, and one I wished actually were longer than it's 127 min running time. A must see.
tyingling7766 I really wanted to give this movie a better rating. It had everything you could want in a procedural drama, even if it wasn't based on a true story. Like every true story I talk about, there is no idea how much of the story is true or not, but it this one is enjoyable.The acting was spot on in this movie. Bryan Cranston shined as he always does. John Leguizamo was as good as he's ever been. You can never go wrong with Diane Kruger. The one complaint I do have is that Benjamin Bratt played a character he seems to be getting stuck with in this point of his career. The man is a versatile actor, stop putting him in drug dealer roles. Give him some space to shine.You probably already know the story even if you haven't seen or heard of the movie. A man in the government decides he's going to go undercover to infiltrate a cartel. It's not like that type of movie hasn't been done before this incident happened in the mid 1980's or after. Or we have seen it on screen. At least with this one they kept it grounded. Robert Mazur didn't go native or anything. He tried to keep his business and his personnel life different.One thing I did love about the movie was a subtle grittiness they put in the filming. It seemed everything was hazy when they were filming, and it worked for the time period they were working off of. The 80's were gritty and hazy. Depicting that in the movie was a brilliant idea. I wish other movies from periods would do such a thing.Now, for the thing that hurt the movie for me. There were a bunch of little factors involved. Things you would notice if you were paying attention. The one that stood out was that there was no crescendo involved throughout the entire movie. There was no build up to a big event. It all felt extremely flat the entire time.If it wasn't for the acting I probably would have given this movie a lower rating, truthfully. And the acting alone should be enough to watch this movie.Rating: 7 out of 10That's it for me folks.
Gordon-11 This film is about an undercover agent, who infiltrates deep into the euros of drug lords and money laundering networks in order to capture the vast network of criminals. The infiltration goes so deep that it is hard to tell what is really happening."The Infiltrator" is a strange film to watch. There are elements that make me want to like the film, such as the undercover couple being very good in their roles. However, I find the characters very confusing, as I can hardly keep up with who is who, and who is on which side. When a guy is murdered in the club, I don't even know which side he is on, or who killed him. The story is not very engaging or suspenseful, so I can't say I liked it a lot.
