The best thing you can say about The Infiltrator is that Cranston and company are entirely persuasive in a film that doesn't make the best use of their stellar efforts.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There aren't enough adrenalin moments to supercharge a film that gets bogged down in exposition.
This is a summer movie for grownups, the kind that reminds you how gratifying it can be to sit down uninterrupted and watch actors work on the big screen.
On its own limited terms, The Infiltrator, like its hero, delivers the goods.
When director Brad Furman isn't focusing on huge closeups (which seems to be an awful lot of the time), he's focusing on all the wrong details.
