I saw this at home on DVD from our public library, my wife abandoned it after about 30 minutes. Not sure why, but I found it totally compelling all the way through.
Bryan Cranston became a favorite of mine as Chemist Walter White in "Breaking Bad." Here he carries the whole movie as featured character Robert Mazur. The thing is Mazur is a real person and really was the agent that went undercover, "infiltrating" the Columbian drug lords and their business, infiltrating the international banks, like BCCI.
Mazur is still alive and well but because of his activities doesn't reveal what he really looks like. This movie came about when in 2006 he was consulting for the "Miami Vice" movie, mentioned that his life might make a good movie, then wrote his memoir which became the book, "The Infiltrator: My Secret Life Inside the Dirty Banks Behind Pablo Escobar's Medellín Cartel."
Good, worthwhile movie.
