The Infiltrator [Blu-ray]

I enjoyed the whole movie. Bryan Cranston is one of the best actors of our time, and all of the characters were very well played by the rest of the cast. From an entertainment standpoint, I liked The Infiltrator from beginning to end, and I love the fact that it's based on a true story. However sensationalized, there were still plenty of specific parts and situations that I know rang true to the real undercover agent. Just like the part with the suitcase: it really happened. If this movie had different actors in it, I'm positive it wouldn't have been half as good. Bryan Cranston is seriously a respectable leading man. His honesty just shines through clear as day, especially when these very subtle flitters of conflict cross his eyes. He gives enough so that the audience can almost feel his heartbeat, almost hear his intelligent thoughts. But he also gives off a subtlety that makes you believe that he is a trained undercover professional with a job that comes with a high cost, and many genuine sacrifices. As always, John Leguizamo plays a great off-beat supporting character, with a strong personality. His acting demands attention, and seeing him in movies almost gives off an instant comfort. I also respect Benjamin Bratt and the actor playing his wife was very authentic. Her hairstyle was awesome: it was modelled after one of the First Ladies. Diane Kruger's​ role and Cranston's onscreen wife fit right in, and the woman who played Cranston's relative inlaw was fantastic. It was immediately obvious that she has had many years of acting experience. Although her role was fairly short, it was memorable. The fashion, wardrobe, and hairstyles were done perfectly, and Cranston got to rock Armani throughout the movie. The real-life undercover agent bought $12,000 suits in the early 70's, to play his rockstar made-up accountant role.The directing, and pretty much everything else came off as authentic. And that woman from The Office played the head of the operation, and it was refreshing to see her in such a confident, no-nonsense role after she played an awkward, dorky, but likeable character in The Office TV series for years. I did get the sense that things were slightly more detached and less personal than they could've been. There were many different characters that were involved, and it seemed like we barely got to know most of them, before we were supposed to feel like they really meant something important to Cranston's character. I suppose things were a bit rushed in that sense. While you're watching it, the pace seems perfect, and I actually enjoyed the fact that there wasn't a lot of terrifically gory or violent scenes or car chases. But it was still obviously high-risk, and that was always apparent beneath the surface, all throughout. I highly recommend this movie to almost anyone. I feel that everyone can find something to take away from this film, even if it's a better knowledge of some of the drama that went down at the time. Regardless, the golden key lays within Bryan Cranston's astonishing ability to evoke emotion, even with very little movement or words at times. He is phenomenal at what he does, and it's hard to imagine a bad movie or show where he plays the lead.Definitely worth watching. Overall, there was a lot of work put into this, and it's obvious, but not while looking obvious, know what I mean?

Wow. If you didn't read "Cocaine" or watch "Blow" or follow Don Pablo's biographies and excerpts from the newspapers and coverage of what this man created.. Then you won't understand any of this.. But if you did, then this is a great movie to watch.. And should probably be put into a series showing the other side of Don Pablo's business in the U.S. and London. I was shocked at the ending.. A little less dramatic than it should have been.. But definitely left me waiting to see more of Brian Cranston...and John Leguizamo ((That crazy rican...))) as a team.. They work good together. It's not Breaking Bad, It's "Broke You Bad"... And it's good. It's a good break from the usual stack em shooter movies of late.. Compared to El Sicario... Or It's a little light on violence but it's definitely a good movie.. In my opinion.

While this movie does a decent job of maintaining tension, it doesn't really come with much of a payoff, and the film suffers from a particularly weak third act. There are jarring tonal shifts throughout, and the characters are poorly developed. Bryan Cranston is probably the best part of this film, and fans of his work will certainly enjoy watching him in this. Personally, I think the source material is a bit worn out in Hollywood, and at this point I'd rather see a halfway decent documentary on the subject than another so-so dramatization.

Outstanding! The whole production focused on the personalities and emotions of a high stress/life threatening job that agents go through. However, unlike a lot of movies/shows, the criminals were not glorified or celebrated. The well placed reminders showed the evil and criminal intentions they were up against along with bankers who knowingly facilities these thugs who wouldn't think twice about killing someone. The brave agents who fight these wars everyday for us do this while we go about our daily routines. It's great to see what happened. The writers, the actors, etc. did a great job with this incredible story. We need more movies and shows about actual stories that took place. Thank you!

great film.arrived as expected.

Basé sur le livre de l'agent Mazur, le film traite au plus près de la réalité l'action peu ordinaire de cet agent infiltré dans le milieu de la drogue colombienne. L'action, la rapidité des plans séquences sont habilement mené et font réagir le spectateur. Après avoir vu la série Narcos, Infiltrator s'impose comme une nécessaire suite pour comprendre l’implication financière. Il faut savoir que le blanchiment d'argent de la drogue s'élève à 2000 Milliards d'Euros par an, soit le déficit gigantesque accumulé par la France et par la faillite des politiques.Outre une image remarquable, le son et la musique puissante constitue un élément déterminant que j'ai beaucoup aimé entendre. Très bons effets spéciaux, hyper-réalistes.Le générique est à voir, les sanctions infligées par la justice semblent dérisoires surtout si on pense aux inévitables remises de peines. Surtout la drogue continue d'infliger des troubles psychiatriques graves et de tuer.Mention à Diane Kruger sublime dans son rôle d'infiltrée fatale.

Mais quel bon film ! "infiltrator" remet Bryan Cranston, le heros de "breaking bad", en contact avec le milieu de la drogue mais cette fois comme agent infiltré. Pour l'assister il a la sublime Diane Kruger qui joue aussi bien qu'elle est belle.... la lutte contre le cartel du legendaire Pablo Escobar et ses associés (principalement bancaires) est portée par un suspens de chaque instant. Tous les acteurs, des deux vedettes citées, aux seconds rôles, sont au top. Je n'ai absolument pas vu le film passer. Magistral. 5 / 5

Mise en scène parfaite. Acteurs parfait. Film à voir et à revoir. j'ai adoré. Ce n'est certes pas un film rapide mais cela vaut le coup de le voir. Le rythme reste toutefois très réaliste. que demander de plus quand il s'agit de faits réels. Le film nous entraîne dans un sujet bien perplexe et redoutable. A voir absolument

J'ai bien aimé !
