It may sound like a bit like the title of a Steven Seagal movie, but Bryan Cranston hasn't quite taken the middle-aged-action-movie route with The Infiltrator. Rather, it's a drama based on the real life of undercover agent Robert Mazur, who embedded himself in some of the world's most dangerous drugs cartels. Check out the latest trailer below.
Adapted by Ellen Brown Furman from customs and excise agent Mazur’s autobiography, the film follows how he became a pivotal player for drug lords cleaning their dirty cash. He traded on mob connections to become the confidant to scores of international underworld players and the bankers who enabled them. Laying his life on the line, he infiltrated the globe’s largest cartels (including digging into kingpin Pablo Escobar's finances) and discovered just how deep into society their influence extended. Cue porn 'staches and brushes with real danger.
With Diane Kruger, Benjamin Bratt, Amy Ryan and Said Taghmaoui also in the cast, this one comes from director Brad Furman, who worked with Cranston on The Lincoln Lawyer. The film arrives in the US on July 15 but is still awaiting a solid release slot in the UK.
