Bryan Cranston Goes Undercover in Trailer For Drug Thriller THE INFILTRATOR
The story of Pablo Escobar's drug empire has been told a bunch of times by now, most recently on the Netflix series Narcos. Now it's being told again, from the classic "one man brings the whole thing down" angle. It looks like any undercover movie you've seen before (Donnie Brasco, etc), but it has a decent cast (including Diane Kruger, John Leguizamo, and Benjamin Bratt) and a passable director in Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer). We'll find out how it all comes together on July 15th.
Based on a true story, Federal agent ROBERT "BOB" MAZUR (Bryan Cranston) goes deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar's drug trafficking scene plaguing the nation in 1986 by posing as slick, money-laundering businessman Bob Musella. Teamed with impulsive and streetwise fellow agent EMIR ABREU (John Leguizamo) and rookie agent posing as his fiancé KATHY ERTZ (Diane Kruger), Mazur befriends Escobar's top lieutenant ROBERTO ALCAINO (Benjamin Bratt). Navigating a vicious criminal network in which the slightest slip-up could cost him his life, Mazur risks it all building a case that leads to indictments of 85 drug lords and the corrupt bankers who cleaned their dirty money, along with the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest money-laundering banks in the world.
