Following the money

The Infiltrator (2016)

Directed by Brad Furman this film based on real events stars Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt and Diane Kruger. During the 1980s US Customs agents seek to infiltrate the money laundering schemes of drug dealers tied to Pablo Escobar.

Taking what appears to be a mostly realistic story this is a fairly interesting crime story but I am not sure it offers anything especially new. Nothing of great depth or originality is revealed here despite being a well made film. There is a good cast but the performances are solid rather than amazing.


3/5
