Recently cinemas cashed-in on this special genre as The Infiltrator brought action of illicit deeds treating enthusiasts at cinema to a dramatic true story that delights with cartel crime and fear. This film actually portrays one of history’s biggest seizures and the devastating choke hold drugs have on South America. The Infiltrator is based on the autobiography of the same name by Robert Mazur, a US Customs special agent, who in the 1980s helped bust Pablo Escobar’s money-laundering organisation.
In this one viewers get treated to Federal agent Robert ‘Bob’ Mazur (Bryan Cranston) going deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar’s drug trafficking that is plaguing the nation in 1986 by posing as slick, money-laundering businessman, Bob Musella. Teamed with impulsive and streetwise fellow agent, Emir Abreu and rookie agent posing as his fiancé Kathy Ertz Mazur befriends Escobar’s top lieutenant Roberto Alcaino. 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.
