Infiltrator: Movie

Narco thriller.  Actors:  , ,  |

 Cranston, from Breaking Bad, infiltrates Pablo Escobar's drug empire.  He "follows the money," getting the goods on the bankers.  In the process, he is in constant danger along with his "wife," undercover agent played by Diane Krugr. Leguizamo is involved with the dealers, not the bankers. Cranston's main dilemma is the fact that he becomes friends with some of the drug dealers so feels as if he is a traitor when he turns them in.

Based on true story.  Not bad at all, but not great either.  solid film
