Bryan Cranston has had a little bit of experience with drug drama on screen in his career so far, though for The Infiltrator, he's staying on the right side of the law. There's a new image of Cranston and John Leguizamo in the film to be found lurking above.
Adapted by Ellen Brown Furman from customs and excise agent Robert Mazur’s autobiography, the film tells the story of Mazur, AKA Robert Musella, who became a pivotal player for drug lords cleaning their dirty cash. He traded on mob connections to become the confidant to scores of the international underworld, 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.
